Empathy is transformative. It can reduce the chance of a child being bullied. It can enable world leaders to find peaceful solutions. It can motivate nations to open their doors to families fleeing war and violence. It can inspire future generations of loving and compassionate global citizens. Empathy can change the world.
The educational arts nonprofit Children Mending Hearts has created “I Choose Empathy,” a free resource for those who have pledged to make their lives more empathetic. For over ten years CMH has been instilling empathy in students through after-school programs, in class curriculum, student, parent, and teacher workshops, and community service events. Now they want to help teachers and parents bring the empathy 360° even more effectively.
