Social and Emotional Learning can have a transformative impact on young people's lives. This has been proven around the world
Social and Emotional Learning gives all children, especially those with personal, social, and developmental needs, an ability to manage their own emotions, build confidence, show empathy, build critical thinking skills and maintain healthy relationships.
The return on investment is significant, including happier more resilient children, improved school engagement, and a reduction in anti-social behaviour and youth violence – all of which represent better outcomes for children and young people and cost savings for the public purse. The changes we need to make are low cost, easy to implement, and supported by a wealth of global evidence.
Salzburg Global's project "Karanga: the global alliance for social emotional learning and lifeskills" has been building a global community of SEL practitioners over the last five years. Please join members of Karanga for an open discussion about the case for SEL and why it is a crucial education innovation at this point in the 21st century
