Culture of Empathy Builder: Mark Rodriguez

Mark Rodriguez & Edwin Rutsch: Dialogs on How to Build a Culture of Empathy with Arts Education 

Mark Rodriguez is Executive Director of Changing Worlds in Chicago, Illinois.  'Changing Worlds is an educational arts nonprofit organization whose mission is to foster inclusive communities through oral history, writing and art programs that improve student learning, affirm identity and enhance cross-cultural understanding. In a global landscape where lack of empathy leads to stereotyping, violent behaviors and lack of human connections, Changing Worlds uses the power of personal narratives with writing and the arts to build inclusive learning communities, affirm identity and build cultural and human connections.'  The program was one of 15 Finalists in the Activating Empathy competition.
