Children from across the world are eager to connect, learn and grow with each other. The SELENA Connections program facilitates this.
Under teacher supervision, students have the opportunity to establish life long friendships with students across the globe. The program is designed to teach Social Emotional Learning skillsets. Students have the opportunity to connect one on one, get to know one another, and play educational video games together. Studies have shown that these types of interactions across borders and cultures reduces prejudice and discrimination, while increasing lifelong economic opportunities.
The implementation of the program is intended for Kindergarten through 12th grade but can be adjusted for high school graduates.
