➤ Happy @SalzburgGlobal Day!
➤ On this day in 1947, a six-week experiment began under the name of the Salzburg Seminar in American Civilization. More than 100 people from Europe and America convened at Schloss Leopoldskron to examine, debate, and challenge ideas

This month we trained 🇿🇦 teachers & youth on #socialemotionallearning & application in the classroom.
💡Learning how to appreciate and care for yourself is as important as caring for others -you cannot teach others #SEL if you don't practice it too.

Take a read of part two of our conversation with @NeelaSaldanha! Useful insights on how we could use a private sector lens to public service delivery & treating the people we serve as clients, rather than beneficiaries. Do check it out! #behaviouralscience
Part 2 with @NeelaSaldanha is about applying lessons from the private sector for development. What if a ‘beneficiary’ was rather a ‘customer'? What if service delivery prioritised the product, packaging, pricing & place? #behavioralscience #socialimpact
