 ΕΝSA WORKING GROUPS 

VISION AND MISSION

Social and emotional competencies become increasingly important and necessary in people’s daily lives, especially in the lives of children and youth, that are asked to cope with various challenges in their relationships and contacts with school peers, parents and other adults (such as teachers) they live, learn and socialize with.

The European Commission now recognizes “Social and Civic Competencies” as one of 8 key competencies for lifelong learning, needed to live in contemporary society, as Ann Marie Chavanon, Council of Europe, President of the Committee on Environmental and Health Crisis, highlighted at the Annual Assembly of ENSA.

The Commission also highlights the need for further developing teachers' and trainers’ competencies, motivation, and skills so that their educational approaches match the needs of learners.

Ensel network and Well-being will be conceived as an “umbrella working group of ENSA”, providing members with a platform and framework to join forces, exchange good practices and educational materials, and thus develop common actions to motivate all parties involved in Life Skills including both intrapersonal and interpersonal qualities.

Intrapersonal life skills include self-awareness, self-control, self-esteem, self-respect, and self-reflection.

Interpersonal life skills include effective communication, cooperation, teamwork and problem-solving abilities, respect for similarities and differences, appreciation, empathy, trust, and love for implementing Well Being in our communities.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

 The main objectives of the new thematic group for Wellbeing and Ensel-Network :

 1. To coordinate actions and initiatives at the European level and develop partnerships across Europe

2. To campaign and advocate for a common European strategy for life skills, especially for Social and emotional competencies in Europe and to monitor and influence policies at the national and European levels for schools, Universities, Communities, and Organisations.

3. To produce and promote the exchange of good practices, enforce capacity building and provide tools and training to professionals working in the field.

4. To raise awareness among the public and empower children and young people as well as parents, teachers and stakeholders professionals, on how to achieve implement Life Skills in a Holistic approach in their communities for their well-being.
