Raising Generation Empathy is a groundbreaking conference exploring how reading can boost children’s empathy and wellbeing. Taking place just before the National Year of Reading, it offers a fresh psychology and science perspective with insights from the first UK-based study focused specifically on children.

Join EmpathyLab and the University of Sussex to:

Hear cutting-edge new research about reading’s impact on children’s empathy, including findings from the first UK children-focused study on this topic
Explore practical ways to build social and emotional skills through reading and stories
Help develop an agenda to drive forward a powerful, reading-based empathy education

Our children and young people face many challenges. This conference is a must for policy makers, researchers, and thought leaders from education, social and emotional learning, child development, and literature/reading.
