School education and education outside of school in Bolivia is largely authoritarian and violence is still omnipresent and socially accepted. Physical and psychological punishment are considered successful means of teaching children respect and obedience. Emotional intelligence, i.e. the ability to express one's own emotions and better understand those of others, is neglected and given little space.
The present project aims to promote and strengthen children's social and emotional skills in order to sustainably improve their ability to develop relationships and deal with conflict.
