Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) for Inclusive Schools

Why this is Erasmus+ eligible

Structured, multi-day programme (5 days) with a pre-defined schedule and learning outcomes — not a passive lecture format.

Built around interaction: participants engage directly with the trainer and with peers from other countries throughout the course.

Transnational by design — open to participants travelling from outside the host country, a core requirement of Erasmus+ mobility funding.

Overview

This course equips educators with Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) strategies to build a genuinely inclusive learning environment. SEL helps students develop empathy, self-awareness, decision-making and social skills — UNESCO’s 2020 report links it to greater emotional resilience and stronger participation in inclusive education.

Aligned with the Erasmus+ Programme’s Inclusion priority, the course focuses on reaching disadvantaged students and combines SEL strategies with digital tools to support inclusive, interactive teaching.

Methodology

Hands-On, Collaborative Practice

Beyond the theory of SEL, participants engage in practical activities and group work to apply strategies in real classroom settings.

School-Ready Activities

Every activity is designed to transfer easily back to your own school environment.

Digital Tools for SEL

Tools like Padlet, Kahoot and Google Classroom help you build interactive SEL strategies that support digital transformation in your teaching.

What you'll take home

Apply SEL strategies in your classroom to support students' emotional and social development.

Design interactive classroom activities using digital tools to boost student engagement.

Collaborate with peers to develop joint SEL products you can bring back to your school.

Certificate & assessment

This is a Certificate of Attendance, not an exam-based qualification — recognition comes from completing the structured programme, not from passing a test. The real, lasting value is in the competencies listed above under What you'll take home.

Erasmus Mobility Academy

Certificate of Attendance

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) for Inclusive Schools · 5 days · 25 hrs

+ Europass Mobility document

Type your name above — clearly marked "SAMPLE" in the PDF, not an official document.

The real certificate is signed by your trainer and EMA's authorised signatory. Your own signature isn't on this document — it's captured separately, on the Europass Mobility document.

Need to verify a real certificate? Check it online using the serial number and participant's full name, or contact us directly — [email protected], OID E10304561.

Attendance

Tracked using a sign-in sheet with one signature per participant per day (paper or digital). This record is used to issue your Certificate of Attendance and Europass Mobility document. View sign-in sheet (PDF)

Output

Every participant leaves with a completed Dissemination & School Impact Plan — a step-by-step template for applying the course back at your school (see below).

Feedback

An end-of-course evaluation form is sent to every participant after the course ends — a chance to reflect on what you've learned and how you'll apply it, and it helps us keep improving the course for future participants.

Your paperwork

Keep your travel tickets, boarding passes and (if you used green travel) any related receipts — your school or National Agency may ask for these for their own Erasmus+ reporting.

For your school / proposal

School impact

After completing this Inclusive Education course, the participating staff member can transfer outcomes directly to their school: a short briefing for colleagues sharing the key takeaways, applying relevant tools or strategies from the programme in their own role, and inclusion of the course materials in the school's professional development resources — turning one person's mobility into a wider institutional gain that supports the school's European Development Plan. Use the Dissemination & School Impact Plan below to fill in your own — it saves as you go and can generate a one-page summary for your coordinator too.
