Abstract

Denmark has several examples regarding the development of social and emotional learning (SEL) programmes for early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings. Some of these initiatives are also evaluated. One prominent example is the program We Learn Together, which has been evaluated by TrygFonden's Centre for Child Research.
