Objective

Learners understand the concept of empathy and how to practise it in our everyday lives.

Activity: What is empathy? (15 min)

Step 1: 

Create a graffiti board with the following headings:

  • What I THINK empathy is
  • What empathy is

Note: Watch the 'Discussion Strategies' video in preparation.

Step 2: 

Ask the learners to write or draw their responses on the graffiti board under Heading 1, ‘What I think empathy is’. Allow the learners to go up in small groups to write on the graffiti board rather than one by one, to save time.

    Step 3: 

    Play the 'Empathy' video to your learners.

    Step 4:

    The learners should now write or draw on the graffiti board under Heading 2, ‘What empathy is’.

    Step 5:

    Give the learners the opportunity to look at the two graffiti boards.
