Launch of SEE Learning® Program
The Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics announced the official launch of the SEE Learning® (Social, Emotional, and Ethical Learning) Program in New Delhi, India, on April 4–6, 2019 presided over by Nobel Peace Laureate and Emory University Presidential Distinguished Professor, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
The launch of the SEE Learning® (Social, Emotional and Ethical Learning) program and accompanying curricula—what His Holiness has often referred to as 'secular ethics'—is the culmination of more than two decades of educational collaboration between His Holiness and Emory University.
This historic event was held at the Andaz Hotel in Aerocity, New Delhi, with an invited audience of one thousand educators and policy leaders from more than thirty countries. It featured children’s rights activist and Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi along with globally recognized experts in social and emotional learning Daniel Goleman, Kimberly Schonert-Reichl, Linda Lantieri, and Rob Roeser.
With support from Emory’s co-hosts, the Dalai Lama Foundation and Vana Foundation, the special launched event had been live-streamed internationally at https://www.dalailama.com/live. During the event, the Emory SEE Learning® team presented the program and curriculum; showed examples of how SEE Learning® is being implemented in different parts of the world, and how teachers and students are responding, and engaging in pedagogical demonstrations.
The SEE Learning® program was made possible by the generosity of the Gaden Phodrang Foundation of the Dalai Lama, the Yeshe Khorlo Foundation, the Pierre and Pamela Omidyar Fund, the Walton Family Foundation, and Robert and Lexie Potemkin.
