What can you do?
Read: find and start an empathy-boosting book. Use the Read for Empathy collections as a starting point or ask a bookseller, a friend, or librarian for a recommendation.
Connect: practice listening 100 per cent. Imagine you have an Empathy Switch in your head. Switch it on! Now, in your next conversation, focus on really connecting with what the other person is saying. Listen 100 per cent. Have you really understood their perspective? Ask them!
How does it feel to listen so intently? How would it make you feel to be listened to so deeply?
Act: use your empathy skills to make a difference in your school or your community. Visit your local homeless shelter to see how it works and how you can help or find out more about how refugees are helped within your community.
And join in the huge online campaign by sharing your #ReadforEmpathy recommendations and tagging @EmpathyLabUK. PEN&INC.
