Make diversity, inclusion and wellbeing work for you

At school, young people develop not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. Open conversations about inclusion, mental health and sexuality create a culture where every student feels welcome. We talk about empathy, respect, dealing with stress and anxiety, discovering which emotions are yours and which are your parents’, and healthy sexual development. By breaking taboos, students notice that they are not alone in their insecurities, mutual understanding grows, bullying and discrimination decreases and school becomes a place where young people can be themselves.

The conversations I have with students not only make a difference in their school results, but also give them the social and emotional skills they need later. By giving space to what is going on in their minds, we are building together a generation that looks at themselves and others with more compassion.
