Karanga: the global alliance for social emotional learning and life skills grew out of a series of programs Salzburg Global Seminar organized with partners in 2018 and 2019. Karanga facilitates a monthly roundtable to create a reliable, recurring space for the community to engage with SEL issues and with each other. This virtual call typically begins with network updates to highlight relevant and timely trends in education research, practice, and policy, as well as case studies featuring initiatives from across our network.
