Description of Our Community: Taiwan is a small island nation in East Asia, known for its rich culture, advanced technology, and beautiful natural scenery. It has a strong education system and values academic achievement. Students in Taiwan are hardworking and motivated, but they also face growing challenges from academic pressure, digital distractions, and social changes after the pandemic. Mental health becomes more important than ever. Whether globally or in Taiwan, emotional outbursts, depression, conflicts at school or home, and difficulties in children’s relationships are all linked to long-neglected non-cognitive skills. In 2025 spring, the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Education in Taiwan announced to work together to promote Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and officially integrate it into the national curriculum.
Project Description: In this project, we are introducing an organization called SEL in Taiwan, formed by a group of passionate educators who are dedicated to promoting social and emotional learning (SEL) in families and schools in Taiwan. They held training workshops, made lesson plans and teaching resources, and wrote magazine/blog articles to help teachers, parents, and students understand the purpose and the application of SEL. They aim to cultivate future responsible decision makers and improve people’s well-being. We hope to raise awareness of why SEL is important for students today, especially in a digital and fast-changing world. Inspired by SEL in Taiwan’s efforts, we are taking action in our elementary school and community to promote SEL skills. To achieve this, we developed action plans such as designing SEL activities, creating short videos to explain SEL concepts, and sharing these ideas with younger students. We also learned from SEL in Taiwan’s teaching resources and used them to guide our projects. Through these efforts, we want to encourage students, teachers, and parents to value emotional health and build a more supportive, caring learning environment for everyone.
