![]() Empathy Day HistoryEmpathy Day seeks to inspire and increase empathy. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It’s placing yourself in someone else’s shoes. It is a key part of what makes us human. Empathy Day encourages everyone to increase their empathy. This can be done by reading books as studies have shown that you’re more likely to develop empathy by understanding the emotions and feelings of the characters. Empathy Day was founded in 2017 by Empathy Lab. It is observed annually at the beginning of June. | ||
