📣 Save the date: Leslee Udwin joins Global Schools Forum's 6th Community of Practice on Social and Emotional Learning

Our Founder & President will take the community through Think Equal's journey — our model, our emerging evidence of impact, and the hard questions the whole SEL field is grappling with:

💙 How do we navigate limited funding for SEL?
🧡 How do we measure impact meaningfully?
💚 How do we support teachers who are themselves carrying trauma?
🩵 How do we integrate SEL into other subjects, not just a standalone period?

Join us online on August 13, 2026 — hosted by Global Schools Forum in collaboration with Labhya.
