Their expertise ensured that the event was both educational and insightful, providing valuable tools to participants on integrating social, emotional, and ethical learning into education systems.
The initiative, part of a broader effort to promote SEE Learning across the region, was conducted in association with the Chief Education Officer, Kargil, the Principal of Model Government Degree College, Zanskar, the International Institute for Culture & Ethics, and the District Institute for Education & Training (Leh/Kargil).

Deldan Angmo, Principal of DIET Leh, also played a crucial role in ensuring the participation of the master trainers who conducted the workshop.
The Chief Education Officer, Kargil, had earlier nominated teachers from various government and private schools in Zanskar to participate in the workshop. A list of the participating teachers and students was prepared and shared with the relevant authorities to ensure smooth coordination.
The event highlighted the increasing emphasis on incorporating SEE Learning in educational curricula to promote holistic student development. With the support of the UT administration and the education department, the workshop was a resounding success and marked another significant step toward fostering a more emotionally and ethically aware student population in Ladakh.
About SEE Learning: SEE Learning, or Social, Emotional, and Ethical Learning, is an educational framework that aims to equip students with essential life skills, promoting self-awareness, empathy, and responsible decision-making.
