Mark your G-Cals! On Wednesday, June 13, empathy educator David Levine will host a webinar called “Fostering Empathy in Schools.” It’s based off of his work as founder and director of Teaching Empathy, an educational nonprofit. Wednesday’s introductory session will examine how empathy – through reflection, storytelling, song, and other techniques – can be used to cultivate the optimism and emotional safety that parents and educators, alike, would like to see in classrooms. To learn more about his work, check out David’s entry in the Activating Empathy competition we hosted in conjunction with Ashoka Changemakers
