It cannot be taught in the traditional ways children are taught in school, but it can be caught in relationships. If we want to build a society that is inclusive and caring, it is imperative that we develop empathy early. Through the art shared during their participation in the Roots of Empathy program, participants will see just what children feel from injustices they experience, such as being excluded and bullied. The absence of empathy underscores prejudice, discrimination, violence and injustices of all sorts. The children of today are the citizens, leaders and parents of tomorrow. Raising levels of empathy in children and adults is the best peace pill we have to build a civil society where every person can feel like they belong.
