Empathy Week is a global schools programme using the power of film to develop the skill of empathy and leadership in students across the world. A vital skill, we have so far engaged 100,000 in two years across 40+ countries and 6 continents. A fast growing global empathy movement that understands that empathy is a crucial element of human development and vital for a world that seeks to understand first before taking any actions. If a student takes part in Empathy Week every year of their school life from the age of 5 until they are 18, they will have experienced 65 different peoples life stories from across the world. 65 different people with their own stories, beliefs, cultures, opinions, ethnicities, ideas and ways of life. This is the power of film, this is the power of Empathy Week. Together, we are building the #EmpathyGeneration and you can join us.
