The empathy symbol has been used in K-12 schools from Phoenix,
Arizona to Ontario, Canada; from Houston, Texas to The Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia. Empathy materials are available for free and
for purchase. Empathy: The first step to peace in our schools,
communities, nations, world Here are some ways you can use the
empathy symbol to foster the core value of empathy in your
school, as well as ways that schools have promoted increased
empathy in their students: - Print and distribute the free
downloadable empathy symbol materials from this website: the
bookmarks can be passed out to students, and the posters can be
displayed in classrooms and common areas. - Print the empathy
symbol onto the top of a blank piece of paper, and have an essay
contest about empathy. Students could write about how they
learned to be more empathetic and understanding of someone
different from themselves, or why their school would be a better
place if all students and teachers practiced empathy toward one
another, or similar topics. Essa
