From the VUCA to BANI era, we need professionals with greater emotional stability—individuals who can maintain a positive mindset even under immense pressure and in the face of uncertainty. This ability can be described in simpler terms as being "resilient," "tough," or "not easily broken." This “emotional management course” aims to help participants upgrade their emotional “operating system,” enabling emotions and rationality to work together efficiently. It also guides students through deep self-exploration and awareness, helping them to break free from emotional "sticking points" and enhance their ability to cope with pressure, all while maintaining a positive mindset in uncertain environments.

The sixth episode of the Interpreting the EU's Toolbox series will focus on the Forced Labour Regulation, which will likely be adopted in the coming months. The regulation will enable the EU authorities to investigate goods, supply chains, and manufacturers with suspected links to forced labour.

On Tuesday, 22nd October at 16:00, representatives from the European Commission will provide an overview of the Forced Labour Regulation. A representative of the International Labour Organization will then present its overall framework (conventions, standards and guidelines) pertaining to forced labour. Finally, Stuart Newman, Senior Advocacy & Engagement Advisor at amfori, will share best practices for companies on how to tackle forced labour across their supply chains.
