Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) helps individuals develop the tools to understand and manage their emotions, set positive goals, build empathy, nurture relationships, and make responsible decisions.
What makes SEL truly impactful is how it empowers people to take control of their behavior, fostering a positive shift form within. By learning these essential skills, individuals are equipped to navigate life with confidence and compassion.

It has been very rewarding for us at school to work on fundamental issues and conflict management. (...) we have been given several tools to work with students’ self esteem and commitment, even for the future.
Training inspired a mindset change in regard to peace building and conflict management. Emphasized the need for teachers to take action as role models for their learners.

Building the self-confidence of our pupils and their ability to manage conflicts in the work for peace, are important parts of our task to bring up the citizens of tomorrow.
