Empathy Day 12 June 2025.

Empathy is being able to understand what other people feel, see things from their point of view, and imagine yourself in their place. Today (and every day) try to put yourself in someone else's position and feel what they must be feeling.

The library displays are filled with fabulous books , with fabulous stories and characters.

Reading broadens your perspective and especially reading about characters who have a POV different than your own and  it can foster our well-being and resilience too. Find out more here.

"Good fiction creates empathy. A novel takes you somewhere and asks you to look through the eyes of another person, to live another life." Barbara Kingsolver. 

We shared books, created bookmarks and shared empathy resolutions.

We celebrated Empathy Day 2025 with Class 2.1

Empathy Wall of Fame

Class 2.1

Empathy Day 2025 Book Talk for June

Challenges, resolutions and books. 


Reading shows us how we can understand what others are thinking and feeling and let's us get to know them.

It helps us to develop emotional intelligence, critical thinking and empathy!

Happy Empathy Day . 

We have so many books to borrow and enjoy - Read for Empathy.

Get the most out of Empathy Day with author Rashmi Sirdeshpande .
