UNESCO, in collaboration with the Regional Education Group for Latin America and the Caribbean, launched on 17 April a biweekly series of knowledge exchange and policy dialogue under the title “SDG-Education 2030 Webinar Series for Latin America and the Caribbean: Leaving no one behind in times of the COVID-19 pandemic”.

We would like to invite you to the fifth webinar of the SDG-Education 2030 series that focus on the Caribbean. The discussion will bring together educational planners and practitioners together for discussion and exchange on the subject of Social-emotional support in crisis contexts for learners, parents and education personnel.

This Caribbean webinar series is organized in partnership with the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat and the Regional Education Group Latin America and the Caribbean. The following questions will be addressed:

• What are some of the social emotional needs and challenges encountered by learners, parents and teachers in the context of extended school closures, and how can they be addressed?
• What efforts are Caribbean governments making to ensure the social-emotional wellbeing of learners, parents and teachers during school closures and physical confinement?
• Why are social emotional skills important for learners, parents and teachers during and after the COVID-19 crisis? What are the implications of social emotional learning for the future of education?
