The workshop "Applying SEE Learning to Preschool Education" was organized by the Faculty of Preschool Education (Ho Chi Minh City University of Education) and the social enterprise Heart & Mind Edu (HME).

The workshop was attended by mostly international experts (USA, Singapore, Philippines...), many domestic experts, education managers, principals, and preschool teachers in and outside Ho Chi Minh City.

Opening the session, Professor Geshe Lobsang Tenzin Negi, Executive Director of the Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics at Emory University (USA), showed a series of images about current crises in the world, from polarizing ideological conflicts, violent conflicts, climate change to the growing gap between rich and poor.

And according to the professor, the common point of the typical crises above is the lack of emotion. Everything happens in the context of global economic, medical, scientific and technological development.

“The question is, are we happier with the developments and improvements we have?” asked Mr. Negi.

Mr. Tsondue Samphel, deputy director of the SEE Learning program, said the SEE Learning program was created to help society solve the above shortcomings.

According to Mr. Tsondue Samphel, the SEE Learning curriculum framework is derived from the Dalai Lama's writings on secular ethics. The pedagogical structure of SEE Learning begins with teaching awareness, compassion and ethics to children.

Dr. Bui Hong Quan, Head of the Department of Early Childhood Education - Ho Chi Minh City University of Education - commented that the SEE Learning program aims to develop good moral qualities, effective communication skills, and the ability to understand and regulate emotions. The program will help students integrate and develop positively in the community.

SEE Learning is an advanced educational program that focuses on learners, built on modern and practical educational methods.

According to the dean, the implementation of SEE Learning will help the team of managers and preschool teachers become happier, have better mental health and increase work performance. For children, SEE Learning brings great benefits in terms of mental health, behavior, morality and personality.

Mr. Negi informed that the stress level of students in the US is increasing. About 1 in 3 freshmen will say that they have had a mental health disorder before entering college.

In 2020 to 2021 alone, more than 60% of college students had at least one mental health issue. 64% of students dropped out of college for mental health reasons.

"Although these are statistics for students in the US, I believe Vietnamese students are also facing this situation," Professor Negi affirmed.
