When students feel good, they learn better

Pomelo is a Swedish tool, built on the concept of student health as defined in the Swedish national curriculum and Education Act, which requires schools to work preventively with student wellbeing. Pomelo supports schools in doing this systematically and comprehensively.

Pomelo is GDPR-compliant, research-based, and designed to fit smoothly into the daily work of compulsory school.

How Pomelo works

Two modules for working proactively and systematically with student wellbeing

Two modules for working proactively and systematically with student wellbeing

  • Surveys on the social and emotional learning environment and social and emotional skills capture students' experiences and needs
  • The responses lead to recommendations and exercises that strengthen both the class climate and students' social and emotional skills
  • Ongoing follow-up creates a data-driven basis for development

Voices from customers and partners

“Pomelo is a valuable support in the school's values-based work, giving teachers concrete tools to capture the social climate in the class and to work preventively around mental health. Pomelo helps educators create shared exercises that contribute to strengthening students' sense of security, participation, and wellbeing in a structured and accessible way.”

Tove Risberg

Tove Risberg, special educator,Specialpedagogiska skolmyndigheten

“With recommended exercises, the class can work together on the relational environment and build a safe classroom. Here Pomelo can be a valuable support for teachers and students in preventive work for students' wellbeing.”

Anna Ribbing, special educator,Karlslundsskolan

“As a special educator, I see great potential in Pomelo as a tool for making preventive and health-promoting student wellbeing work concrete, systematic, and close to teaching.

I particularly appreciate that the tool rests on research, strengthens the teacher's leadership, and at the same time gives students a clear influence over the design of the learning environment.

Pomelo can help translate knowledge about wellbeing, participation, and social and emotional development into practical action in the classroom.”

Research that works in everyday school life

“I wanted to make research useful in everyday school life, and I saw that schools lacked user-friendly support for systematically promoting student wellbeing.”

Says Noam Ringer, who is a school psychologist, PhD in pedagogy, and head of research at Pomelo.

To create wellbeing and learning among students, schools need to work both on the learning environment and on the social and emotional skills that help students handle everyday challenges, such as stress management, emotional regulation, and collaboration. Pomelo was developed to make this work easier!

The school's compensatory mandate is about giving all students equal opportunities to succeed in school, regardless of background or individual circumstances. It means that the school should not only convey knowledge, but also actively reduce differences in students' opportunities for learning and wellbeing.

This work involves both strengthening the learning environment and supporting students' social and emotional development, so that more students get the chance to reach their full potential.

A social and emotional learning environment is about how the school's social and emotional climate affects students' learning and wellbeing. It includes, among other things, relationships, participation, safety, and students' opportunity to develop social and emotional skills in everyday life.

Research shows that a positive social and emotional learning environment is linked to both wellbeing and school performance.

Social and emotional skills training is about systematically developing students' abilities to understand and manage emotions, collaborate, communicate, and solve problems in social situations. These are skills that affect both wellbeing and learning over time.

Research shows that these abilities can be trained and strengthened through deliberate work in everyday school life.

Student voice and participation is about the degree to which students get to take part in and influence their everyday school life, both in teaching and in the school's development. It strengthens motivation, engagement, and the sense of meaning in school.

Research shows that increased student voice is linked to both learning and wellbeing.
