Learn About The Benefits of a SEL Curriculum for Universities

Social Emotional Learning Program

Core to the mission at DHIFI is the promotion of SEL activities for universities. We focus on enhancing the youth’s capacity for emotional comprehension, establishing positive goals, fostering empathic interactions, strengthening relationships, and executing choices. At DHIFI, we increase the scope of SEL by inspiring students to embrace their distinctive characteristics with programs that highlight individualism.

  • Story sharing: By sharing their personal experiences, students gain confidence and address the barriers that often produce bullying.
  • Showcasing uniqueness: Our teachings reinforce that unique features are valuable assets, not disadvantages.

Championing self-acceptance and the acceptance of others, encouraging respect for diverse backgrounds, and guaranteeing a feeling of belonging for everybody, no matter their individuality, are integral parts of our vision.

Project Flaunt aims to empower students through the celebration of the things that make us unique, promoting self-acceptance, and ensuring school environments are more inclusive. Building empathy and confidence among peers is the goal of this initiative, which is capable of being achieved by encouraging students to flaunt their unique experiences and qualities. Emphasizing inclusion and social-emotional learning (SEL), the various activities and resources provided in this curriculum are designed to be integrated into school curricula.

Testimonials

During our 2019 annual President’s Council of Cornell Women (PCCW) Symposium, Meg gave an impressionable presentation titled “What You Think of Me is None of My Business: Embracing Your Superpower” which embodied our theme of PCCW Celebrates One Cornell: Diversity and Inclusion.” Not only was Meg’s presentation insightful, thoughtful and impactful, but she captivated the audience. Sharing stories about those who go through life with visible and invisible differences made us aware that we all face difficulties and challenges in many ways, but together, through education and awareness, we can be compassionate, loving and caring to everyone, no matter the trials and tribulations ahead.

When the U.S. Embassy in Israel hosted Meg Zucker as a Distinguished American Speaker in 2015, the audiences she spoke and met with were deeply inspired by her personal story, her effective advocacy, and the early success of Don’t Hide It, Flaunt It.  Her appearance made a huge impact with advocates for inclusion and acceptance which still resonates today with those who met her.

Daniel Shapiro

former U.S. Ambassador to Israel

Meg is an energetic and engaging speaker who inspires all who meet her with her life story of growing up with a blatant physical difference and parenting kids who share her difference.   Her message of “the things that make me different make me, me” is heartfelt and impactful and resonates with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.  Meg’s mission of building acceptance, tolerance, and empathy is more important now than ever before.  Everyone who has the pleasure of hearing Meg’s story and her vision will be better for it.
