Since 2015, there has been significant progress to reimagine education for wider societal transformation towards peace, justice, inclusion, equality, and sustainability. Yet the existing challenges have intensified, and new ones have emerged. The world is witnessing a resurgence of multiple forms of conflicts and violence, from racism and discrimination, to hate speech and armed conflicts. Our efforts to build sustainable peace through education are falling short. 250 million children are still out of school, and those in school are not acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills they need.

This guide makes the case for integrating Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in the collective efforts to transform education. It highlights its impact in improving academic achievement, reducing drop-out rates, and improving overall mental health and well-being, and importantly, in strengthening emotional and relational dynamics of classrooms, schools, communities, and societies.
