 Introduction

THINK EQUAL is a global education initiative with a mission to ensure that Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) becomes a mandatory subject for all children in early years settings globally. SEL is the process through which knowledge, attitudes, values and skills such as emotional intelligence, empathy, self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision making are developed.

SEL helps young people to:

•  build and maintain psychological resources;

•  know themselves and their emotions and to engage in positive relationships;

•  make good decisions, behave ethically and responsibly;

•  learn self-regulation and avoid negative behaviours;

•  undo gender stereotypes and be gender equal;

•  have self-worth, confidence and the right to voice and agency; and

•  transition into ambitious and empowered young adults.

To support educators and governments to achieve this mission, THINK EQUAL has developed a global SEL Programme for 3-6 years-olds. The Programme is constructed around narrative children’s books, lesson plans and teaching resources which provide the concrete tools educators need to teach SEL in a low-cost and adaptable format.

The THINK EQUAL Programme has a global presence across six continents and has undergone three RCT trials in contexts as varied as Colombia, Botswana and Australia.
