Collaboration and communication are at the heart of digital-age learning, working, and living. Yet effective collaboration and communication both depend on empathy — the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. In fact, Forbes even declared empathy to be an essential leadership skill! But do you know how to cultivate this important skill in your students? Join this educator and filmmaker duo as they facilitate several empathy-building instructional activities that use powerful digital media as a launchpad. With key recommendations about curation and use, digital media — from film and music to posts and images — can captivate your students, improve learning, and foster empathy in the next generation.
