Ashoka Fellow Mary Gordon: Roots of Empathy

MGordon_SQSP.jpeg

A dialogue with Mary Gordon regarding Roots of Empathy, an award-winning charitable organization that offers empathy-based programming for children. Roots of Empathy is considered a model of social innovation and has two programs: a flagship program of the same name for children in elementary school (Roots of Empathy) and Seeds of Empathy, its "younger sibling" - a program for children ages three-to-five in early childhood settings. Both programs have shown dramatic effect in reducing levels of aggression among children while raising their social and emotional competence and increasing empathy.

Un dialogue avec Mary Gordon concernant Racines de l'empathie, une organisation caritative primée qui anime des programmes pour les enfants, fondés sur l’empathie. Racines de l'empathie est considéré comme un modèle d'innovation sociale et dispose de deux programmes: un pour les enfants à l'école élémentaire, et l'autre, pour les enfants âgés de trois à cinq mis en œuvre dans les environnements consacrés à la petite enfance. On a constaté que ces deux programmes permettent de réduire de manière spectaculaire les niveaux d'agressivité chez les enfants, tout améliorant leurs compétence sociales et émotionnelles et en augmentant leur empathie.
