Brainstorm of Ideas
Our Design project is to develop an online empathy training curriculum.
A one year training.
People form teams of 2 to 6 to go through the training.
meet for 2 to 3 hours.
Meet in person or online.
A series of lessons. Video, reading, slideshow, etc.
participants view the material beforehand, come together to practice empathic listening.
Using the Empathic Listening and Empathy Circle as the core practice.
Framed around building a culture of empathy. moving away from a purely individualistic view of empathy to a relational view.
Do Exercises/activities in the meetings to practice the skills.
create an activities tool kit online.
the teams can work on their own or have a facilitator.
Easily reproducible.
a training based on small teams is easily reproducible. Anyone could take part and lead a empathy team.
