EmpathyLab: Read stories, build empathy, make a better world

New scientific research shows that identifying with book characters develops our real-life empathy. In the run up to Empathy Day on 12 June, join EmpthyLab for story-based activities for families with a special focus on helping children understand other people’s feelings and perspectives better. Author Chitra Soundar will share her books, and involve children in storytelling –her latest book, You’re Safe with Me, is featured in the 2018 Read for Empathy Guide for parents (see www.empathylab.uk).
