Support for Schools
Our programmes and events support schools to build empathy skills in children through reading.
We work with schools across the UK from primary to secondary, to bring empathy into the classroom as something to be both learned and practiced in school and beyond. Our research led programmes and events offer a fun and accessible way to bring empathy learning to life.
