Globally certified programs to build social and emotional intelligence for individuals and institutions.
Social Emotional learning is at the core of building systems that are focused on equity, diversity and inclusion. For societies and systems to transform, each one of us needs to have a sense of agency to bring about change in the systems they are part of and appreciate interdependence.
We believe that the education system is the foundational path to bringing about change in the world we live in today. For hundreds of years, education has been defined by intellectual growth, which is essential but constrictive as it does not prepare students for challenges in the world outside. Education should encompass not only intellectual learning that is supported by formal systems, but also social and emotional growth. We believe that Social-Emotional Learning is essential in creating global citizens in the complex, challenging, and transforming world we inhabit today.
Cross Border Classrooms is a community initiative by The SEL Lab that promotes dialogue across borders in South Asia through Social Emotional Learning education. Our community programs are built for educators, change markers and peace builders to equip them with social emotional tools to support the work on the ground and at the same time it creates a space for cross border dialogues and knowledge sharing. We believe in education that unites the world.
Emotional CPR (eCPR) is an educational program designed to teach people to assist others through an emotional crisis. eCPR is based on the principles of trauma-informed care, counseling after disasters, emotional intelligence, suicide prevention, etc. It was developed with input from a diverse cadre of recognized leaders from across the U.S., who themselves have learned how to recover and grow from emotional crises.

The primary focus during the one on one resiliency sessions is to educate individuals about the biology and neurophysiology of trauma, stress and resilience as well as teach simple biologically-based wellness skills, which can help reset and stabilize the nervous system. The one on one sessions are educational and informative covering a vast range of topics centered around the neurobiology of resilience. These sessions are inspired by the content created by the Trauma Resource Institute for the Community Resiliency Model®️.
We believe that Social Emotional Learning is the foundational path to bringing about change within all systems that we are part of.
SEL gives us tools to manage and understand emotions, build resiliency and have empathetic social interactions. As a collective, it helps us build community resilience, allows us to facilitate non-violent dialogue, negotiation and conflict resolution. We work with educators, change makers, corporates, political institutions, peace builders promoting a sense of agency in the systems and communities that they are part of to eventually build a generation of compassionate, just and equal leaders.

“Training with The SEL Lab gave me an insight on human values for social and emotional flourishing. It has improved my ability to have empathic concern which is essential for a war zone country like Afghanistan, which has been suffering for 44 years, in complex and proxy conflict, which has a direct impact on my daily life and collective flourishing.”

“At The SEL Lab, I have gained a whole new perspective in the last few months with people from different organisations, cultures, religions and countries. It has been really special sharing my work as an educator at Teach For Sri Lanka and learning from other organisations”

“Being part of The SEL Lab’s community and trainings has made me realise that as an educator I need to prioritise my children’s emotions first, help them navigate through their feelings. I truly believe if we channel our children’s emotions, we are making way for a better tomorrow and a generation of great leaders.”
