HAND in HAND is a European policy experimentation project in which NEPC network actively participate. It will develop an open-access systemic policy tool – an EU-based, universal and social-emotional and intercultural (SEI) learning programme: the HAND in HAND programme.

The project targets the need experienced in Europe and internationally to develop inclusive societies for every student to feel accepted and be able to achieve their potential. The HAND in HAND programme for students and school staff builds on the importance of the relationship for human development and learning. The primary aim of this study is to develop an in-depth understanding of national and regional policy initiatives, which promote and mainstream social, emotional and intercultural learning in school education. Additionally, we seek to understand the impact of these policy initiatives in the field of school education.
