What is EXSEL®?

Expertise in Social and Emotional Learning

 

EXSEL® is a new initiative in 2023, to equip children, aged 7 – 12 years old with Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) skills and knowledge in a workshop delivery concept.

 

CASEL Wheel Framework  

Built on the CASEL Framework (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning), EXSEL® explores 5 core competencies:

  • Self-Awareness
  • Self-Management
  • Social Awareness
  • Relationship Skills
  • Responsible Decision-Making

 

Through fun and engaging activities, children are empowered in their SEL journey to become sensitive, sensible and compassionate citizens.

 

We will bring our unique EXSEL® programme to where the children are gathered, be it in the community space, schools, student care centres, Children’s Homes, etc.

Empowering the Child

 

Our goal is to nurture a new generation of children who are able to thrive in the new landscape of a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (VUCA) environment. Empowering children matters.

 

Children and youth are leaders today and will be the leaders of tomorrow.

 

It is vital that the caring adults in their lives help them to develop healthy self-esteem, confidence and resilience. Empowering children today helps to ensure a better future.
