The Partnership Between Harvard and Fundação Itaú Offers Free Course for Educators

If you are a teacher or educator and want to specialize in socioemotional skills, this is your chance! Harvard and Fundação Itaú have joined forces to launch the course “Socioemotional Strategies for Childhoods.” And the best part: it’s completely free!

The idea is to help educators understand and apply the SEL Kernels methodology, which uses games, playful activities, and routines as teaching tools.

The course is available on the platforms Escola Fundação Itaú and AVAMEC, from the Ministry of Education, and also promises a more advanced module at the beginning of next year.

Course Focused on Childhoods and International Scope

The course, called “Socioemotional Strategies for Childhoods,” provides a practical approach to teaching socioemotional skills.

Through playful activities, educators can transform the school environment, helping children develop important competencies such as empathy, self-control, and teamwork.

This method, known as SEL Kernels, has already been tested in various parts of the world, including countries like Australia, Canada, Lebanon, and Sierra Leone. In Brazil, the methodology has also gained local adaptations, being called Sementes in Paraty (RJ), and Caroço in Amazonas.

Available Courses

The partnership between Harvard and Fundação Itaú offers the following learning opportunities:

Socioemotional Strategies for Childhoods
SEL Kernels methodology applied to school practice
Games and playful activities as pedagogical tools
Advanced track for deeper learning (launch expected in early 2025)

How the Selection Process Works

The course is open to all educators interested in socioemotional skills. Just register on one of the available platforms and access the content directly. There is no elimination selection process, which facilitates access for a wider audience.

Where to Register

Registration for the course can be done for free on the following platforms:

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.

A mother taught her twin children to read and write at age 2 inside an oncology hospital, and 16 years later, the two were accepted into two of the most difficult universities in the world in the United States.

NASA transforms a retired Boeing 777 aircraft into its largest flying laboratory, capable of carrying 34 tons of equipment to 13,100 meters and flying for 18 hours to investigate storms, polar ice, and extreme weather events across the planet.

It’s not a 3D printer: an inventor from Pará created a construction robot that ejects reinforced concrete into molds and builds an entire house at once, reduces labor by 50%, saves 20% on cost, and is already negotiating over 1,000 units across Brazil.

Two residential towers in Milan were covered with 900 trees and 20 thousand plants on the balconies, together equivalent to 2 hectares of suspended forest in the middle of the city, and have already inspired projects on 5 continents.
