Empathy Week
Empathy Week is a global schools programme using the power of film to enable students all over the world to discover and build empathy through in-class lessons and social action projects.
In the past two years, over 100,000 students from across the world have taken part in Empathy Week, and there’s still time to register your school or class.
Teachers can use the resources to support the teaching of PSHE, with themes covering social, moral, spiritual and cultural topics.
Empathy Week 2022 is all about ‘Passion & Purpose’ and is taking place 21-25 February, though participating schools can use the resources any time after that. Find out more and register for Empathy Week at www.empathy-week.com and be sure to share the opportunity with any teachers you might know!
