My journey as an Empatico Kindness Fellow

You might be wondering what Empatico is all about?

Empatico is a free tool for teachers to connect their classroom with other classrooms around the world through live video and activities designed to foster meaningful connections among students.

Empatico empowers teachers and students to explore the world through experiences that spark curiosity, kindness, and empathy.

“Kindness is the root of all good things!”

I am privileged to be a part of this year kindness week and an Empatico Kindness Champion Fellow. So far since I was nominated to be a fellow, I have been able to create a kindness council in my class where we discuss on strategies on how to show kindness to ourselves, the community and the world at large. My pupils came with individual definition on what kindness means to them.

One of the Empatico Skills is Respectful Communication which I introduced to them and since then,they won’t stop using it and correct each other whenever they err. Together, we came up with an idea on spreading kindness in our world and community by visiting a rehabilitation center. While preparing for the visit, one of my kids exclaimed: I am so glad to be in grade six! ( this is a child whose parents wanted him to skip grade six to the college)

I am so elated to be a part of this; spreading kindness and empathy in my world. I believe that “a little act of kindness can change the world! “

Big thanks to Empatico and the team!
