Emotional Intelligence: Going On An Empathy Adventure
Susan Stillman and Edwin Rutsch
|
 |
|
Susan Stillman is Director of Education at
Six Seconds, The
Emotional Intelligence Network, Institute for Social Innovation. Through
the Six Seconds website, she is hosting the
Empathy Adventure
over a six weeks period.
Susan writes,
"Empathy is one of the vital competencies of the 21st century. Empathy
is related to collaboration, building trust, problem solving, health,
and peaceful resolution of conflict. It is an essential component of
leadership and critical to success in business and education. Empathy
and compassion may even be key to the survival of the human race.
Empathy can be viewed even more broadly as compassionate action. So
we’re inviting you to this Empathy Adventure — where we’ll come together
online to discuss the many types of empathy and then perform a few
simple acts of empathy that will ripple out to many others. Through
personal stories of group members and empathy “experts,” the group will
develop a deep awareness of empathy. We’ll observe what happens when we
invite empathy to be more present in our lives, and document the way it
affects us and our interaction with others. Over approximately six
weeks, the project will follow these three stages..."

Thea Blair:
Got Empathy? The
Foundations of Empathy
|
 |
|
Thea Blair is a Waldorf teacher, and a Pediatric Massage
Therapist. She operated a successful, Waldorf-inspired pre-school out of
her home for fourteen years. Observing the amazing results of touch, either
playful or comforting, in resolving children's emotional stress led her to
seek a massage training. She now works as a parent and teacher coach, and a
touch educator.
Thea brings Peer Massage to schools as a consultant. She is
available for talks and workshops about touch, parenting, and childhood
development. In this dialogue we discussed her empathy
research and insights.
|
|
Thea wrote a
research paper on empathy: "The
Role of Motor Development in the Development of Empathy" and holds "The
Foundations of Empathy" presentations on empathy as well. She
writes: "The ability to empathize develops with contributions from
various biologically and environmentally based factors. These factors
include genetics, child temperament, parenting factors such as warmth,
parent-child synchrony, and other qualities of the parent child
relationship, and physical imitation such as facial mimicry and motor
imitation, using areas of the brain such as the mirror neuron system and
the limbic system. In this paper I will explore how motor development
supports the development of empathic awareness."

Eva Scherer Building Empathy with Children, Touch & Massage
|
 |
 |
Eva Scherer, professional body worker and the
owner of several Sports & Therapeutic massage clinics in Auckland. In
2000 with like-minded professionals, Eva established
Child Connection
Trust, a registered charity. |
|
The aim of this organization is to introduce massage
into the mainstream education system as a low-cost prevention for child
abuse and family violence. Since then, her award winning Children
Massaging Children programme has benefited children in New Zealand as
well as overseas.
"Our programmes teach Peace and Empathy in the purest
way... Most people would react with surprise or
disbelief at the concept of empathy being taught in schools; however, this
idea is more than mere wishful thinking. The idea of teaching children
empathy has been the subject of extensive research in New Zealand and also
the focus of at least two Master's degree theses in Poland."

Hunter Gehlbach: How to Build a Culture of Empathy in Education
|
 |
|
Hunter Gehlbach is
Associate Professor of Education at
Harvard Graduate School of Education. He is an educational psychologist who brings social
psychological principles to bear on educational challenges. His
research focuses on improving educational settings through enhancing the
social interactions of teachers and students. His specific interests within
social psychology focus on social perspective taking – how people discern
the thoughts and feelings of others within the classroom. |
|
Hunter says, "Education is a fundamentally social act. Almost all
classroom learning (and much of the learning that occurs outside of
schools) involves social interaction – even reading entails communication
between author and reader. Our lab group’s research strives to enhance
these social interactions. Primarily through bringing social psychological
principles to bear on educational problems, we aim to impact students’
(and teachers’) learning, motivation, behavior, and psychological
well-being. Our group focuses particularly on social perspective taking –
the capacity to figure out the thoughts, feelings, and motivations of
others – which we view as the core aptitude that people employ to navigate
their social world. By helping teachers and students improve their social
perspective taking and better understand where each other are coming from,
we aspire to improve the classroom experience for both students and
teachers."

Gil Lavie:
Global Empathy Experiment - How to Build a Culture of Empathy
|
 |
|
Gil Lavie is a Viral Advertising Expert and started the
Global Empathy Experiment (GlobalempathyExperiment.org)
in one of his classes at the the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya,
Israel. He say, "I'm half art - half science. My interests are
memes, humor, empathy and other fascinating notions. I had a 10-year
career in hi-tech global marketing. Then I started one of the first viral
ad agencies in 2002, where I created over 50 viral video commercials that
organically reached out to hundreds of millions of viewers". |
"Globalizing empathy is a step towards a better society,
developing care and understanding that cross geographical, social and
species boundaries. Can us caring lead others to care? And can this care
be translated into actions? Actions like saving lives, spreading love,
reaching out and giving a helping hand… We are simply students creating
a platform for promoting Empathy by crowd-sourcing creativity & humor."

Maryam Sakeenah: How to
Build a Culture of Empathy in Pakistan
|
|
 |
 |
Maryam Sakeenah
is a social worker, teacher, and freelance writer living in Lahore,
Pakistan. She teaches Literature, Islamic Studies and Sociology.
She is leading a project for virtual education for
underprivileged school children. |
|
Maryam also authored a book documenting
Islamic and Oriental responses to the Clash of Civilizations, titled
Us Versus Them and
Beyond: An Oriental-Islamic Rejoinder to the Clash of Civilizations
Theory.
I talked with Maryam from her home in Lahore, Pakistan
about her article, The
Murder of Human Empathy.
This was her response to the recent attacks on Christian homes in Lahore.
She writes,
"Empathy is curbed and limited through narrow, parochial banners of
ethnicity, nationalism, race and creed so that the empathic drive does
not extend to the out-group. The out-group is then ‘otherised’. However,
a more severe form of this is dehumanization of the other, often
institutionalized by the social superstructure: state, media, education,
religion."
She calls for leaders (especially religious leaders) in
Pakistan to stand up and advocate for fostering empathy for
all people.
"Empathy humanizes and civilizes. Its suppression
intensifies secondary drives like narcissism, materialism, violence and
aggression. The task of religion, education and the media must be to bring
out the empathic sociability stretching out to all of humanity..."

in Education
|

Bob Sornson was a classroom teacher and school administrator for
over 30 years, and is the founder of the
Early Learning
Foundation. He
works with schools and education organizations across the country,
focusing primarily on developing
comprehensive programs which support early learning success, |
building classroom and school culture
to support the development of social and behavior skills, and offering

Bob is the author of a number of books including:
Stand in My Shoes: Kids Learning About Empathy.
"When Emily asks her big sister what the word empathy means, Emily has
no idea that knowing the answer will change how she looks at people...
Empathy is the ability to notice what other people feel. Empathy leads
to the social skills and personal relationships which make our lives
rich and beautiful, and it is something we can help our children learn.
This book teaches young children the value of noticing how other people
feel. Were hoping that many parents read it along with their children."

Kathryn Lee:
How to Build a Culture of Empathy with Education
|
 |

Kathryn Lee is Director of Innovation, Partnerships, and
Service at Prospect Sierra School in El Cerrito, California. She was an
organizer of the
'TEDxGoldenGateED: Compassion and Education Conference'
held in Richmond, California which had over 700 attendees. Prospect
Sierra is an innovative school that has been at the forefront of
incorporating empathy and compassion into it's curriculum including the
Root's of Empathy and the StartEmpathy programs. |
How can we build a culture of empathy?
Celebrate, Educate, Discover, and Uncover. I believe that empathy
is not only a muscle that needs regular exercise to stay strong, but
that there are stages in the development of empathy, and essential
skills to be learned. For example, if you feel for other people,
but your speech doesn't convey that, then you might not really be
helping to create a more empathetic society.
Also, to be an effective communicator
in the world, one must know how to listen for understanding, convey
that in words and body language, AND have advocacy skills. We can't
listen our way out of a problem. Sometimes empathy requires strong
action -- compassion -- and it might not always be cum-by-ah.

Hutton: Dialogs on How to Build a Culture of Empathy and Compassion
|
 |
|
Jan has served as a community organizer, social
worker in hospice and hospital settings, meditation teacher, group
facilitator in the Quaker community and, she hopes, a ‘kind’ person. The
guiding principle for Jan’s work as a facilitator is, “How do we look at
those who differ from us and see our shared humanity?”
|
She
offers Compassionate Listening Training with the
strong belief that implementing peacemaking in the public sector makes
it vital that we practice, heart to heart, that very same peacemaking
in our personal lives. To build a culture of empathy we each
take responsibility for acknowledging the fear that our own hearts
might break when empathizing with someone else's pain?

"Empathy is critical both to individual human development and to our
collective ability to solve problems and build a stronger society.
Cultivating empathy can start with really simple actions, like taking
the time to stop, breathe, and listen when your child comes to you with
a problem. It can start with a bedtime story. It can start by
understanding what your strengths are as a school or as a teacher, and
in honing in on ways you can embed empathy into your teaching, culture,
and behavior. The bottom line: it can start today."

Start Empathy is not out to build a single program,

demand for empathy as a core 21st century skill – collaborating with
social entrepreneurs, educators, parents, and key players in the media,
business, and academic sectors to make empathy as essential as reading
and math in early education. Success will take all of us, and will
require rethinking how we parent, educate, and raise our children in a
world that is changing faster than ever before. "

Sympathy = random acts of kindness. The philanthropic systems of support
for charity are built more on sympathy than empathy, thus they are not
consistent streams of support that are required to solve
complex
problems in many places. How to build a culture of empathy?
a) information collection. b) advertising/public awareness to increase
number looking at info. c) facilitation/building understanding = like what
happens in faith groups every week. d) action – people using ideas in many
places, where they provide time, talent, dollars, leadership, advocacy,
etc. to help kids to careers.
