The development of emotional intelligence can be particularly helpful for students living in hotspots, since they may experience trauma and deal with high levels of stress and uncertainty. I took the opportunity to interview Saw Ehta Ler from Myanmar (Burma) to find out how students can develop resilience in order to help them bounce back after difficult experiences and keep learning and growing.Like the show?
