WHAT DO WE DO?

The EmLead – Empathy-Driven Leadership:
 A Role-Playing for Gen Z Development project addresses key challenges in youth empowerment and leadership training by focusing on empathy as a core competency for the leaders of tomorrow. Recognizing the limitations of traditional leadership models, EmLead introduces a methodological framework based on role-playing to help young people develop emotional intelligence, inclusive thinking, and interpersonal communication skills.
To respond to the needs of today’s youth – especially those navigating social pressures, identity development, and intercultural tensions – the project offers interactive, scenario-based activities that simulate real-life leadership challenges. These include conflict resolution, group decision-making, and ethical dilemmas, allowing participants to practice and reflect on their roles in a safe and guided environment.
At the same time, EmLead equips youth workers and educators with practical tools to implement this methodology through training resources, facilitation guides, and a collection of adaptable role-play scenarios. The project fosters a participatory and reflective learning space where young people are not only encouraged to lead but to lead with empathy.
By integrating non-formal education principles with structured reflection and digital support tools, EmLead promotes the development of empathetic, inclusive, and responsible leadership across Europe.
