➤ Happy @SalzburgGlobal Day!
➤ On this day in 1947, a six-week experiment began under the name of the Salzburg Seminar in American Civilization. More than 100 people from Europe and America convened at Schloss Leopoldskron to examine, debate, and challenge ideas
Thanks to our friends @DBE_SA @SboMonareng and @WCEDnews for being such gracious hosts. We are looking forward to continued partnerships! – at New Delhi, India
This month we trained 🇿🇦 teachers & youth on #socialemotionallearning & application in the classroom.
💡Learning how to appreciate and care for yourself is as important as caring for others -you cannot teach others #SEL if you don't practice it too.

Today @Apolitical launched its list of 100 Climate Policy Breakthroughs. We learned how #policymakers in Mexico City combined #behavioural #nudges and financial #incentives to encourage the development of eco-friendly buildings. apolitical.co/list/en/climat…
Great to hear this @JPAL_Africa! Social and emotional skills are so critical for young people to learn! – at New Delhi, India
Our team recently presented with the @westerncapegov on the learnings from a self-regulation pilot programme in 45 high schools in the Western Cape, #SouthAfrica. Over 4000 Grade 8 & 9 learners & 200+ youth facilitators worked together to develop social & emotional skills.
Take a read of part two of our conversation with @NeelaSaldanha! Useful insights on how we could use a private sector lens to public service delivery & treating the people we serve as clients, rather than beneficiaries. Do check it out! #behaviouralscience – at New Delhi, India
Part 2 with @NeelaSaldanha is about applying lessons from the private sector for development. What if a ‘beneficiary’ was rather a ‘customer'? What if service delivery prioritised the product, packaging, pricing & place? #behavioralscience #socialimpact

It was so great hearing your thoughts @NeelaSaldanha. We are starting 2023 off with a bang and looking forward to publish part 2! @KiaraKlitzner #behavioralscience
