Empathy Café Meetings
Goal: Contribute to Building a Culture of Empathy and
Compassion
by producing a series of monthly Empathy Cafes, consisting of a presentation
by an empathy expert speaker followed by a World
Cafe style discussion
forum.
This is a way to develop a community to support empathy in our society by
creating a space for personal growth, education, networking, community
organizing and responsible social action. In the meetings we explore the
experiences of empathy and compassion and look for ways to foster, support and
encourage these values in all parts of society.

a sense of empathy - is one
that I find myself appreciating more and more as I get older. It is at the
heart of my moral code, and it is how I understand the Golden Rule - not
simply as a call to sympathy or charity, but as something more demanding, a
call to stand in somebody else's shoes and see through their eyes. Like most
of my values, I learned about empathy from my mother.
