Choose Empathy.
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 our community building in Watts, Los Angeles. Now we want to help teachers and parents bring empathy to all degrees of life more effectively.
“Empathy is important because it allows us to create connections with one another, making us feel that we are not alone, but rather have someone to care for us. It allows us to live together with respect and compassion for each other.”
