Description

The research shows that people with strong social-emotional skills are better able to cope with everyday challenges and benefit academically, professionally, and socially.

Methodology & assessment

The methodology of the training course includes a learner-centred approach and a focus on enhancing continued personal development.

In this way, the participants take responsibility for their own learning process and act as active partners in the training.
Through a combination of theory and hands-on activities, teachers will discover effective strategies for integrating SEL into their daily lesson plans and activities. Methods such as debate, pair and group work, and individual practical exercises will be used throughout the course.
