Socioemotional Skills Development and
School-Based Violence Reduction in Central America

Tuesday, January 25, 2022

This webinar will be held in both English and Spanish. Translation from English to Spanish and vice versa will be provided.
 
Violence and delinquency levels in Central America are among the highest in the world and violent deaths in the region are more common during adolescence. Evidence suggests that adolescents with early exposure to violence tend to be involved in crimes later in life. Also, in the context of poverty, stress and instability may lead to short-sighted decision-making among the young. How can we tackle young people’s exposure to and participation in crime?

In this webinar, Lelys Dinarte Diaz (World Bank) will present her research on the learning and protection channels of an after-school program with psychology-based curricula oriented to reduce school-based violence of teenagers in public schools in the most violent neighborhoods of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. Cristian Crespo (Ministry of the Interior and Public Security of Chile) will comment on the implications of this research. A 10-minute Q&A will follow this presentation.

We very much hope you will be able to join us. If there are others in your network who you believe would benefit from participating, please feel free to forward this invitation to them.
