Empathy plays a central role in how children interact with others, build relationships and contribute to supportive and inclusive schools. It matters for cohesive, peaceful societies. Yet while many recognise its importance, education systems still struggle to define empathy, teach it and create policies and assessments to support and monitor its development.
In this webinar, OECD will explore why empathy matters for education systems and how it can be measured, understood and implemented. Bringing together global perspectives from research, policy and practice, the discussion will examine how we can support system-level strategies and school-based initiatives that foster empathy, children’s wellbeing and positive school climates. Join OECD to see how we can bring empathy to the heart of education.
This is an OECD event.
