In times of anxiety, challenges in social interaction, and emotional overload, can and should schools address emotions? In this Aquário session, we’ll discuss how social-emotional development connects to quality of life and learning, and what role schools play in fostering this well-being. What is already being done in practice? What’s missing to move beyond mere talk and transform the daily lives of students and educators? A space to listen, share, and reflect on possible ways to place social-emotional learning at the center of education without losing sight of what matters most.
