How Might We Build the Empathy Movement?

In this Summit, empathy activists talk about how we can build the Empathy Movement to make mutual empathy a primary cultural value.

Join this Summit if you are ready to roll up your sleeves and help build the Movement. The Empathy Movement is a transformative force in addressing the growing fragmentation and polarization in modern societies. At its core, the movement seeks to reorient how individuals and groups relate to one another, shifting from transactional, adversarial and authoritarian interactions to ones rooted in mutual listening, deep dialogue, understanding and seeing our shared humanity. 

For empathy to become a primary cultural value, it needs sustained, coordinated effort across multiple domains. A movement brings all groups together who support this vision.  It also provides the organizational structure needed for long-term cultural transformation rather than short-lived initiatives.
