We are pleased to share with you three new training guides on empathy building. Empathy - the ability to understand another person’s emotions - is considered one of the crucial skills in any work space. As one of the intended program outcomes, building empathy is of great value to students, especially those in the Bonner Program or others who collaborate with diverse individuals and populations.

Each guide includes interactive exercises involving active listening techniques, authentic dialogue, perspective-taking, and organic conversations to help participants practice empathy building. The guides also integrate the arts as a medium to express and understand ideas and experiences.
