Our 2027 theme:

BUILDING

BETTER

RELATIONSHIPS

BUILDING

BETTER

This year's theme is simple yet powerful. Strong relationships are the foundation of great mental health, belonging and well-being. Crucially it is the skill of empathy that allows us to to build strong, loving and resilient relationships with each other.
 

This coming Empathy Week we're pushing back on a world that has become obsessed with 'optimisation', 'maximising' and 'productivity hacking'. Together, we're going to be celebrating and exploring what "makes" a relationship and crucially commit to the challenge of making just one of own relationships better in the week

There's no determined start line and certainly no prescribed finish line - just an honest, creative and authentic approach to being more human and focusing on what matters.


All Empathy Week 2027 resources are available to registered schools until the end of March! 

Please note - resources are age-differentiated and will be labelled as such across resources and events.
