Exploring Empathy and Global Citizenship in Education

Empathy and global citizenship are important parts of education today. Empathy means understanding and sharing the feelings of others. Global citizenship is about being aware of and caring for people from different countries and cultures. Together, these ideas help students learn to be kind and responsible members of a larger world. Schools that focus on empathy and global citizenship teach students to think about how their actions affect others, to respect diversity, and to work together to make the world a better place. This approach helps students grow into thoughtful, caring adults ready to face global challenges. In today’s episode, we are joined by Aaron Moniz and Scott Jamieson. Aaron Moniz is the CEO and co-founder of Inspire Citizens, which is dedicated to developing whole school systems for global citizenship education, sustainability, and service and community engagement. Scott is a learning facilitator at Inspire Citizens. Aaron and Scott share their thoughts on empathy and compassionate learning in schools, strategies to ensure inclusivity and accessibility to all students, global citizenship kind of learning, and the empathy to impact learning approach.
