Cultivating SEL through our eTwinning Project
Emotional intelligence,
social competency, adaptable coping strategies, compassionate and positive
attitudes, ability to focus – all these skills are cultivated by the consistent
and supportive practice of yoga and mindfulness techniques.
Social and emotional
learning (SEL) is an umbrella term for the process through which children and
adults acquire the knowledge, attitudes, and skills to recognize and manage
their emoticons, set and achieve positive goals, demonstrate caring and concern
for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, make responsible
decisions and handle interpersonal situations effectively. SEL promotes young
people’s academic success, health, and well-being at the same time that it
prevents a variety of conduct problems such as violence and bullying.
Yoga and mindfulness
decrease stress, attention deficit issues, depression, and anxiety in children,
and benefit physical health, psychological well-being, social relations, and
academic performance. Sustainably introducing techniques such as yoga and
mindfulness promotes social and emotional learning and whole child development.
