Why Champion Social and Emotional Learning?: Because It Helps Students Build Character
Helping students develop a sense of self will ultimately help them to better manage their emotions, communicate, and resolve conflicts nonviolently.
It's not enough to simply fill students' brains with facts. A successful education demands that their character be developed as well. That's where social and emotional learning comes in. It is the process of helping students develop the skills to manage their emotions, resolve conflict nonviolently, and make responsible decisions.
Research shows that promoting social and emotional skills leads to reduced violence and aggression among children, higher academic achievement, and an improved ability to function in schools and in the workplace. Students who demonstrate respect for others and practice positive interactions, and whose respectful attitudes and productive communication skills are acknowledged and rewarded, are more likely to continue to demonstrate such behavior. Students who feel secure and respected can better apply themselves to learning. Students who are encouraged to practice the Golden Rule find it easier to thrive in educational environments and in the wider world.
Social and emotional programmes coach children in conflict resolution and model how to negotiate, how to discuss differences in opinion without resorting to personal attacks, and how to accept others when their attitudes, beliefs, and values differ from one's own. They educate children about the effects of harassment and bullying based on social standing, ethnic origin, or sexual orientation.

Tips for a family holiday in the Czech Republic
Parents often devote great effort to coming up with a holiday that would give their children an unforgettable and irreplaceable experience while at the same time teaching them something. And many children, aware of these parental intentions, also put great mental effort into the task of avoiding a thoroughly parent-managed holiday that would mean endless hours of wandering through stately homes and museums. Yet there is a possibility of a compromise that would satisfy all parties thoroughly – in the Czech Republic what appears to be boring history turns into a captivating tale, and children and adults can agree on a common language.
A land of endless fairy-tales
Zoos and botanical gardens
History and architecture made fun
Outings in nature
Museums and galleries from a different angle
Planetariums and village museums
