Web-based resources for social and emotional skills promotion offer useful, creative and diverse materials, that educational agents can use to work.

The Committee for Children is one of the most respected organizations in the world that has done and is doing a lot to promote the importance and development of SEL.

Following their work, there are two interesting new developments.

  1. Their site has a lot of podcasts to download on the subject.

The podcasts on SEL, also available via their website, are aimed at parents, children and professionals. As it's well-known, the podcast genre provides flexibility to listen to the content and still have a proven track record of remembering what you hear.

Committee for Children launched „The Imagine Neighborhood” podcast during the pandemic, which was downloaded and listened to in incredibly high numbers.

  1. They describe a research-based toy, they have developed that they believe could be used to develop SEL. The cuddly, inetractive plush toy named Purrble, can help the children to overcome stress and big emotions. The Purrble,  won the award of TIME, The Best Invention of 2021.
