OUR MISSION
Social Emotional Learning For Inclusion (SEL4i) is a research initiative created by a group of Italian researchers with an ambitious goal: to eliminate the school exclusion experienced by millions of students every day through social-emotional education. We achieve this by assisting educators, professionals, and researchers in applying the most innovative knowledge and practices of social-emotional education to design and implement an education system that leaves no one behind.
The mission of SEL4i is to transform social-emotional education into a key vehicle for school and social inclusion.
-
Individual Differences as Strength
We believe that individual differences are a strength, not a weakness, of the education system.
-
Inclusion in Learning
We believe that every school day should bring the pleasure of learning and feeling included in a peer group.
-
Social and Emotional Competences
We believe that students’ social and emotional competences are the most powerful and indispensable engine for promoting inclusion and equity in school.
-
Teacher Well-being
We believe that the emotional and relational well-being of teachers is crucial for a quality school experience for all.
-
Teacher Training
We believe that focusing on training the socio-emotional competences of teachers is indispensable for building the socio-emotional competences of their students and creating a more inclusive and equitable school for everyone.
Our Vision
SEL4i promotes academic research and innovation projects for inclusion, social-emotional development, social justice, and sustainability.
The group guides its researches and projects through a human rights-based approach to contribute to creating emancipatory, inclusive, and innovative pathways, fostering practices and cultures of inclusion and democracy in everyday educational settings.
