Mediation of Social-Emotional Skills Workshop

Participation in the workshop is open to university students, teachers, clinicians, and parents who wish to learn more about the social-emotional development and acquire practical skills in developing children’s social-emotional cognition. (The course is not intended for mediators who already studied a complete Instrumental Enrichment Basic program)

It is very important for the younger child, and for many older learners, including adults, to have access to the social-emotional dimension of cognitive development.  It thus becomes clear that there is a need to prepare children to develop the awareness, skills, and insights into how to react to the emotional manifestations of their experience, both internally (what is felt) and externally (what is present in the situations to which they will be exposed).
