Between Emotions, Relationships, and Technology: Holistic Development Takes Center Stage in Schools
In a context where anxiety, emotional insecurity, an overload of digital stimuli, and difficulties in social interaction permeate everyday school life, there is a growing recognition among educators that learning goes far beyond academic performance. Children and adolescents need to learn to recognize emotions, build healthy relationships, develop empathy, and find meaning in their own life journeys.
This topic was a highlight at recent editions of Bett Brasil, and this 31st edition was no exception. The idea of developing individuals who are emotionally prepared and capable of coping with the changes in the contemporary world is linked to practical solutions, methodologies, and tools that combine emotional support, technology, and meaningful learning.
A leader in social-emotional learning, LIV—Laboratório Inteligência de Vida—unveiled its new educational ecosystem to the public, integrating the LIV, Meu Mundo, and Dia Lab brands into a program that combines social-emotional learning with skills for the digital world.
“Attending Bett is always a wonderful opportunity to hear different perspectives, share experiences, and strengthen connections with people who, like us, are thinking about the future of education and the challenges of the present,” said Fabiana Decnop, marketing director at LIV, Meu Mundo, and Dia Lab.
According to her, the goal of the booth was to go beyond simply showcasing products and to prompt reflection on the role of technology in the school environment. “We envisioned a space capable of demonstrating that technology, when integrated into a coherent educational program, can enhance learning and strengthen what is most essential in school: human relationships, critical thinking, and the ability to create,” she emphasized.
The debate on the impact of technology on the lives of children and adolescents was also a topic at the Managers’ Forum, during a presentation led by LIV CEO Caio Lo Bianco, alongside Judge and LIV Ambassador Vanessa Cavalieri.
Another new product presented at Bett Brasil was the Córa Emotional Education collection, launched by Editora do Brasil for the entire K-12 system. The materials are designed to foster the development of social-emotional skills, emotional balance, and healthy relationships among students, educators, and families.
“Córa Emotional Education—a partnership between Editora do Brasil and Educa—offers a modern, dynamic approach that is aligned with the current needs of students and educators. Initiatives like this strengthen teaching and create new possibilities for transforming education in a way that is more humane, creative, and connected to the future,” explained Renata Sanches, manager of Educational Services at Editora do Brasil.
According to her, the initiative reinforces the publisher’s commitment to an education that goes beyond the transmission of content and focuses on values and attitudes that directly impact students’ development.

Along the same lines, EAI Educa highlighted methodologies that integrate emotional, cognitive, and relational aspects to promote deeper learning that is connected to real life. The program includes teaching materials and supporting practices aligned with the guidelines of the Ministry of Education (MEC) and the National Common Core Curriculum (BNCC), supporting schools in developing skills considered essential for the 21st century.
During a panel discussion at the Basic Education Conference, Leo Chaves, founder of EAI Educa, participated in a debate alongside historian Leandro Karnal on the skills needed in a constantly changing world.
“When I reject technology, I reject the tool. To reject AI is to reject a powerful tool for assistance and intelligence. We need to reinvent ourselves, and that is the challenge right now. It’s not AI that will save us—it will be teachers. They are the greatest educational technology we have,” Karnal stated. Leo Chaves added, emphasizing the human role of teaching: “The power of leadership and influence that teachers have in society is irreplaceable.”
The relationship between emotional health and learning was also demonstrated in a practical way at the Escola da Inteligência booth, which showcased “Pulso,” a tool used for weekly emotional check-ins with students. Through a simple interface, students record how they are feeling and can report their emotions anonymously, allowing the school to monitor the emotional climate of the classes and identify potential risk situations.
According to Rafaela Perim, the educational manager at Escola da Inteligência, the tool has been transforming the way schools monitor students’ well-being. “Pulso is a tool that turns emotion into strategy. Bringing it to Bet in 2026 has been a fantastic experience, because our partner schools are already using it, so we can also demonstrate the impact the tool is already having on students’ daily lives,” she explained.
She states that the technology has already had a tangible impact on daily school life. “We have testimonials from teachers saying that Pulso has already saved a student’s life,” she reported. The tool also issues alerts in potential critical situations and provides guidance on response protocols for administrators and teaching staff.
