8 May 2021: Webinar for Teachers: ‘Teaching Empathy” by Dr. Borba
Empathy is often sidelined as a “soft skill.” Dr. Borba offers hard evidence that it must become an educational and societal priority. In this game-changing presentation, participants will learn why creating empathetic, compassionate and socially responsible children in a hyper-competitive, plugged-in world is more important than ever. Dr. Borba shares how educators around the globe weave empathy-building practices into existing lessons and help students to develop empathic mindsets in a test-driven culture.
This inspiring keynote, moderated by Professor Kevin Chung, The Education University of Hong Kong, is guaranteed to be informative and filled with practical ways to create positive outcomes by cultivating empathy in your classroom and school.
