Social and Emotional Learning for Youth
UNESCO MGIEP believes the youth are capable agents of change, social transformation, peace and sustainable development. In order to harness this potential, the Institute’s work with the youth aims to extend social and emotional learning (SEL) beyond the four walls of the classroom and strives to empower the youth in SEL based on the latest research in the neuroscience of learning. The goal is to enable young people to transform non-formal, informal and formal education systems through innovative digital pedagogies, inter-generational dialogues and youth-led policy briefs and publications.

This is next level leftist indoctrination
“Given the uncertainty around diagnosis and treatment of mental or emotional problems, even by highly trained physicians, the SEL movement runs the risk of further increasing the trend toward dangerous over-diagnosis and over-medication of American schoolchildren.”11 Mar 2019
