Empathy Day 10th June 2021

‘EmpathyLab’ is an organisation aiming to build children’s empathy through literacy, social activism and the use of high-quality literature. One of the driving forces behind it, is recent research demonstrating that reading builds real-life empathy skills – this is because reading is an opportunity to delve in worlds and situations that are far removed from our own. Read stories. Build empathy. Make a better world.
