The Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) and the Section for Global Citizenship and Peace Education (PSD/GCP), are collaborating in the development of guidance tools for the integration, and improved provision, of social and emotional learning throughout the education system.

This work stems from the joint engagement in the promotion of global citizenship education, which emphasizes, the importance of all three dimensions of learning - the cognitive, social and emotional and behavioural - and will be building on the study released by MGIEP in 2020 – ‘Rethinking Learning: A Review of Social and Emotional Learning for Education Systems’.

The UNESCO inception workshop on social and emotional learning took place on 11 and 12 February 2021.
