Practicing Empathy
Empathy is a concept that many people understand in broad strokes, but it can be confusing or daunting to use empathy with others. Participants will be able to identify how empathy shows up in the body and the mind, become more familiar and comfortable with what it looks like to practice empathy, and explore a creative medium as a way of connecting and relating to others with empathy.
Social Fabric Mapping
This activity gets participants thinking about the power of relationships and what it means to be a part of a connected community.
Participants use the shared visualization to create a visual representation of all the communities and groups that they have been and currently are a part of. They can create their "map" any way that want, but it's best if the facilitator has an example to share with participants for reference.
After five minutes, participants pair up and share their maps with each other. Alternatively, the reflection can be in a full group.
Reflection Questions:
How did you feel while you were making your map, and how did you feel looking at your completed map?
Considering everything you included in your map, what do you think makes a community “woven strong”?
