Creating Emotionally Intelligent Communities Through Awareness and Action
Our advocacy and community engagement initiatives are at the heart of our mission to build a more emotionally aware and resilient society.
EQ Should Not Only Be Taught — It Should Be Lived
We believe that EQ should not only be taught but also lived, reflected in the way we lead, communicate, and connect with others.
Through our outreach, campaigns, and events, we aim to raise awareness of the power of emotional intelligence in shaping healthier relationships, workplaces, and communities. Our advocacy work focuses on promoting EQ as a critical life skill that belongs in educational curricula, workplace programmes, and even public policy — ensuring emotional intelligence becomes a foundation for national growth and social cohesion.
Educational Curricula
Embedding EQ as a critical life skill within schools and learning institutions.
Workplace Programmes
Bringing emotional intelligence into organisational culture and leadership development.
Public Policy
Advocating for EQ as a foundation for national growth and social cohesion.
A Community of Changemakers
"Every conversation you start about emotional intelligence plants a seed for a more empathetic South Africa."
Join a Community of Changemakers
Join a community of changemakers who are passionate about emotional intelligence. By volunteering to become an EQ Advocate, you can take part in awareness drives, facilitate conversations, and help promote EQ education in schools, workplaces, and community spaces.
Our advocacy network welcomes both active volunteers who participate in outreach events and supporting members who help drive our message online and within their networks.
