This year we have produced two toolkits for use in public libraries in the run up to Empathy Day on 11 June and also to help stage events on Empathy Day itself.
The Public Libraries Toolkit is a rich source of creative ideas to enable Library staff to make the most of Empathy Day. This is backed up with a range of downloadable resources to help run events and create eye catching displays.
New for this year is our Early Years Toolkit. Full of fabulous ideas to help inspire and entertain very young children, this can also be used with Reception children so please do encourage class visits from local schools. A range of downloadable resources is also available with this pack.
To download the kits and the resources, just click on the images below.
