Why is it important?
The SEL program was developed since nothing similar had yet appeared in Latvia. The Latvia SEL program was developed on the basis of principles aggregated from multiple existing SEL programs abroad, and was specifically created to be compatible with the sociocultural context of Latvia.
Perspectives
I strongly believe in social emotional learning. We are unique with the fact that we have our own SEL program in Latvia.
