How Mindful Compassion Practices Can Cultivate Social and Emotional Learning Year of publication: 2018 Author: Marilee Bresciani Ludvik | Tonya Lea Eberhart Corporate author: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) A fundamental purpose of social-emotional learning (SEL) is to provide students with opportunities to develop self-awareness, self-management, and social awareness, which in turn would lead to positive goal-oriented behaviors and the cultivation of collaborative relationships. While scholarly literature lists several strategies to foster SEL skills, there is little evidence of their effectiveness. There is research to support that mindful compassion practices (MCPs) cultivate specific outcomes that align with SEL outcomes. However, questions as to how much of each of these practices and how long they need to be practiced in order to realize effective integration into school curricula remain unanswered. Nevertheless, it has been determined that in order for these approaches to have a positive effect, schools need support to define, implement, evaluate, and modify SEL curriculum according to their needs.

Democracy and the Accommodation of Diversity: Advancing Pluralism Through Power Sharing, Self-Governance and Limited Government Year of publication: 2018 Author: Rotimi Suberu Corporate author: Global Centre for Pluralism (Canada) Democracy is, paradoxically, both essential and precarious in diverse and divided societies with deep cultural or ethnic (i.e., linguistic, regional, religious, racial, and other attributes of identity) divides. group). There are examples of relatively non-violent management of ethnic diversity in undemocratic systems, including the Ottoman Empire's millet system to accommodate non-Muslim communities; the British colonial system of indirect administration; and the informal ethnic balancing practices of many African dictatorships. However, the majority of ethnicity scholars agree that undemocratic regimes are often unsuccessful - and ultimately, unsustainable - managers of ethnic diversity, and that there are "no viable alternatives. democracy ”as a pluralist, peaceful, just and sustainable system of governance of such diversity. This is because basic democratic practices, including credible multiparty elections and effective protections for civil rights and freedoms, are essential for the proper articulation, representation and accommodation of competing ethnic interests. La démocratie et l’accommodement de la diversité : Faire progresser le pluralisme par le partage du pouvoir, l’autogouvernance et le gouvernement limité Year of publication: 2018 Author: Rotimi Suberu Corporate author: Global Centre for Pluralism (Canada) La démocratie est, paradoxalement, à la fois essentielle et précaire dans les sociétés diversifiées et divisées ayant de profondes fractures culturelles ou ethniques (c.-à-d., linguistiques, régionales, religieuses, raciales, et autres attributs de l’identité de groupe). Il existe des exemples de gestion relativement non violente de la diversité ethnique dans des systèmes non démocratiques, y compris le système des millets de l’Empire ottoman pour accommoder les communautés non musulmanes; le système colonial britannique d’administration indirecte; et les pratiques informelles d’équilibrage ethnique de nombreuses dictatures africaines1. Toutefois, la majorité des spécialistes de l’ethnicité conviennent que les régimes non démocratiques sont souvent des gestionnaires infructueux – et en fin de compte, insoutenables – de la diversité ethnique, et qu’il n’y a « aucune option de rechange viable à la démocratie » en tant que système de gouvernance pluraliste, pacifique, juste et durable d’une telle diversité2. Cela s’explique par le fait que les pratiques démocratiques fondamentales, y compris des élections multipartites crédibles et des protections efficaces pour les droits et libertés civiles, sont indispensables pour l’articulation, la représentation et l’accommodement adéquats d’intérêts ethniques divergents. 
Beyond Academic Learning: First Results from the Survey of Social and Emotional Skills Year of publication: 2021 Author: Marta Encinas-Martin | Eva Feron | Francesco Avvisati | Marco Paccagnella | Javier Suárez-Alvarez | Michelle Cherian Corporate author: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Over the last few years, social and emotional skills have been rising on the education policy agenda and in the public debate. Policy makers and education practitioners are seeking ways to complement the focus on academic learning, with attention to social and emotional skill development. Social and emotional skills are a subset of an individual’s abilities, attributes and characteristics important for individual success and social functioning. Together, they encompass a comprehensive set of skills essential for students to be able to succeed at school, at work and fully participate in society as active citizens.The benefits of developing children’s social‐emotional skills go beyond cognitive development and academic outcomes; they are also important drivers of mental health and labour market prospects. The ability of citizens to adapt, be resourceful, respect and work well with others, and to take personal and collective responsibility is increasingly becoming the hallmark of a well‐functioning society. The OECD’s Survey of Social and Emotional Skills (SSES) is one of the first international efforts to collect data from students, parents and teachers on the social and emotional skills of students at ages 10 and 15. This report presents the first results from this survey. It describes students’ social and emotional skills and how they relate to individual, family, and school characteristics. It also examines broader policy and socio‐economic contexts related to these skills, and sheds light on ways to help education leaders and policy makers monitor and foster students’ social and emotional skills.
