As this goes out to countries across the world, I know some of you will be easing up on lockdown whilst others are still dealing with the ravages of the pandemic. Wherever you are and whatever your situation I hope you are able to stay safe and feel supported by those around you. These are immensely challenging times, but more for some than others – including our kids.

On Saturday 18th July, UNESCO MGIEP (the Mahatma Gandhi Institute for Peace and Sustainable Development) are launching Re-thinking Learning: A Review of Social and Emotional Learning for Education Systems. Such an important book. I was one of several authors for one of the 8 chapters. The publication will be launched virtually on Nelson Mandela Day with a unique children’s panel titled ‘Do feelings matter in the classroom’. Details on the panel, including the current agenda, are provided at this registration link: https://rethinkinglearning.paperform.co/

You are also encouraged to take the quiz on Social and Emotional Learning, and download a copy of the Educators Guide with Digital activities on SEL here.
