What to expect...

Empathy Week kicks off on Monday 10th March for schools across the world. This year's theme is "My Culture, Your Culture, Our Culture".

The evening will include 2 distinct sections:

1. Empathy Week Showcase

Prepare to be inspired! Led by founder Ed Kirwan, you’ll experience the impact we’ve been making over the past year and be immersed in an evening of empathy yourself through our own films and storytelling.

We'll also be highlighting our work across education as a whole and how we're teaming up in 2026 with tonnes of partners to increase our impact of empathy skill building and to deliver unique education opportunities to all students.

2. Fireside Chat: Culture, Masculinity & Friendship

Meet Kwasi, Kai, Denis, and Nasraht—four young men in their mid-20s from different cultures yet sharing a close-knit friendship. They will be giving honest insights into the importance of culture to them, what it's like growing up as a young man in London, and the importance of positive masculinity and relationships.

This session offers a powerful opportunity to practice empathy by listening to and connecting with personal, lived experiences that broaden our understanding of the world.
