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

The Empathy Movement serves as 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 or adversarial interactions to ones rooted in mutual listening, understanding and seeing our shared humanity. 

For empathy to become a primary cultural value, it needs sustained, coordinated effort across multiple domains. A movement provides the organizational structure needed for long-term cultural transformation rather than short-lived initiatives.
