Session Guide About the Civil 20

The Civil 20 (C20) became an Official Engagement Group of the G20 in 2013 . Since then, the C20 has grown stronger every year, ensuring that world leaders listen not only to voices representing the government and business sectors, but also to the proposals and demands of civil society, with the aim of protecting the environment and promoting social and economic development, human rights and the principle of leaving no one behind. Our work is guided by our principles of inclusivity, transparency, independence, collaboration, human rights, gender equality and women empowerment. This year the C20 Engagement Group is joined by more than 800 members from global Civil Society in 80 countries all round the globe.

C20 activities throughout the G20 presidency year, include: ▶ Speaking at G20 official meetings to represent the demands of civil society and the communities we serve ▶ Influencing G20 outcome documents including the G20 Leaders’ Communiqué ▶ Producing the C20 Policy Pack which details C20 positions in response to the G20 agenda of the year ▶ Issuing policy statements and open letters to G20 Ministers around G20 policy discussions ▶ Releasing the C20 Communiqué, which is Civil Society’s political declaration to G20 Leaders

Session Guide Social and Emotional Learning: The Key to Addressing Major Global Challenges in the Next Decade

Format: Panel Discussion Date: Friday, 9th October 2020 Time: 4:30PM – 6:00PM (Saudi Arabian Standard Time) Session Description: Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is one of the hottest topics in global education today. An exploration will be undertaken into how SEL can be taught, embedded in curricula, measured, and assessed, and why SEL skills and competencies are an essential part of the solution to many of great global challenges facing the next decade. The session will draw on established and cutting-edge research to define SEL, and to look at different SEL programs and practices from around the world. It will also demonstrate how the skills, competencies and behaviors that SEL programs help learners develop are essential for addressing a variety of global challenges. The session also provides opportunity to respond and contribute to a specific call to action to embed SEL throughout the decade ahead.

This session will address the importance of increasing the supply of qualified educators and explore ways of doing so on a global scale. It will explore the need for developing inclusive teacher training policies to ensure diversity of teachers capable of educating every social demographic. The session will contribute the benefits of SEL in increasing students’ chances of accessing higher education. The C20 Education Working Group calls for SEL certification must be incorporated into the mainstream curricula across all levels and pathways of education provision. This session will discuss the contribution SEL would have on civil society across both industrialized and developing countries.

Stimulus Questions ▌ What is the definition of Social and Emotional Learning and its importance in education and as such society? ▌ What gaps exist in the current mainstream curricula that would be filled by SEL? ▌ How would SEL contribute to the development of education standards on both a global and national scale? ▌ What are the main sectors that would be most impacted by an enhancement of SEL within a country? ▌ Explain the important of SEL in current cross-cultural engagement and how SEL can contribute to future relations between nations? ▌ Who should ensure the unification of SEL criteria on a global scale that are then to be implemented locally? ▌ How can we measure the impact and success rate of SEL on both students and wider society?
