Social Emotional and Ethical Learning (SEE Learning)
SEE Leaning aims to build a compassionate citizenry that builds Bharat through a caring heart, a doing hand and a discerning mind. Social Emotional and Ethical Learning (SEE Learning) is an international program to promote social, emotional, and ethical literacy in K-12 (Kindergarten through high school) classrooms across the globe to educate heart and mind. The vision of SEE Learning:
To develop competencies for awareness of self, others and appreciating interdependence.
To enhance attention and mindfulness along with system thinking approach
To build a compassionate education system with essence of common humanity
We strongly believe by focusing on social, emotional, and ethical learning we can address a myriad of challenges and situations that individuals encounter in various aspects of life. In academic settings, students often face bullying, peer pressure, and stress, which can negatively impact their emotional well-being. By emphasizing social and emotional learning, schools can create a supportive environment where students develop resilience, self-awareness, and interpersonal skills, effectively navigating these challenges.
Moreover, ethical learning helps individuals grapple with moral dilemmas and make principled decisions, preparing them for ethical challenges in their personal and professional lives. In the workplace, emphasizing these aspects contributes to the creation of a positive organizational culture, fostering teamwork, communication, and ethical conduct.
