Vol. 30 No. 1 (2024): Emotional education in times of global crisis

Emotional education is essential in current times to help people tackle complex situations which, on many occasions, require innovative solutions. Educational agents, whether formal or non-formal, do not always feel that they are sufficiently prepared to educate in this setting. Thus, a priority must be to address socioemotional components in a systematic way when delivering training in the educational sphere. The present monograph, developed from a multidisciplinary standpoint, presents studies that serve to establish the conceptual basis and methodological tools that contribute towards emotional education and the promotion of personal wellbeing as a basic human right. Within the context of sustainable development goals (SDGs) and Horizon 2030, mental health takes on growing relevance, which opens the door to the promotion of projects that support the practice of quality emotional education. This is essential for times of crisis such as those inherent to current society.
