ENSEC is a collaborative network for European researchers and practitioners working in the area of social and emotional competence in children and young people. The theme of the 2011 conference is ‘Social and emotional education across the world: celebrating diversity in theory, research and practice’. There are three conference sub-themes: (1) International perspectives - exploring the diversity of approaches to social and emotional education from countries around the world. (2) Diversity and innovation in thinking - research that supports new ideas or theories relating to social and emotional education. (3) Practical application - presentations that inform policy and practice. We are keen to attract researchers and practitioners from around the world to ENSEC 2011. It will be an excellent opportunity for discussion, debate, networking and sharing ideas.
