Culturally Relevant SEL Activities & Stories For Educators & Students
Too many of us (humans) grow up without support to practice understanding diverse people, cultures, mindsets, perspectives, and ways of life.
Lots of brainstorming. Not enough “heartstorming”.
When we don’t use our empathy and critical thinking muscles, our ability to see one another as unique amazing humans starts to wither away.
That leads to knots in our chests, bullying, inequity, injustice, prejudice, family fights, and conflict. Bias. Judgment. Separation. Hate.
That’s why culturally inclusive curriculum is important for all of us:
To move from our heads to our hearts.
To learn to love self, others, and our world.
To learn to live with ubuntu: “I am because WE are”
Let’s engage students with global stories and conversations that open our hearts and minds early in life, every day, and everywhere.
You(th) can and will help all of us come back together. Across every line of difference and every border. Culturally inclusive curriculum can open hearts and minds.
Let’s untangle the knots within and between us. Let’s reweave the fabric of our communities. Let’s Be WE.
Culturally Relevant SEL Content For Every Learner
We are lifelong learners, educators & storytellers weaving together culturally relevant SEL resources that we wish we had as kids.
Why? Without curiosity before judgment, our ability to see one another as unique, whole, beautiful humans starts to tangle.
This leads to knots within and between us.
Knots that lead us to treat other humans and our planet in a way that is not kind and compassionate.
Better World Ed’s culturally relevant stories help us untangle these knots and reweave community. Stories to bring humanity into education.
We believe deeply that every single challenge we face is indeed addressable.
If and when we reweave.
