We’re born with a wonderful tool for survival called empathy. It’s a bonding agent that resides in our brains and social scientists around the world agree: the nurturing and development of empathy is crucial to harmonious relationships and social equanimity whether between family members, friends, communities or nations.
Mission:
Our purpose is to inspire a spirit of care and respect for all life through curriculum-aligned education.
We are committed to providing educators – from ECD to FET – with outstanding resources to assist them in the development of ethics, principles, and empathy as part of the everyday learning experience of children throughout South Africa.
Vision:
Our vision for the Caring Classrooms platform is that it will help fast-track our young South African citizens into a new era in which we understand that power over those at our mercy does not make us greater. On the contrary, respect, consideration and care for those at our mercy – irrespective of shape or other differentiation – is where ethics and integrity in adult-life is founded.
Given that our society is plagued by the scourge of bullying, gangsterism, drug addiction, crime, child abuse, animal abuse, elder abuse, disrespect and depression, we ask the question: shouldn’t we, as a society, be doing all we can to develop and nurture empathy among school learners?
This question is all the more relevant when one considers that just as much as empathy can be nurtured and developed to the benefit of society as a whole, it can also be eroded and extinguished – with consequences that degrade individuals and communities and plunge them into vicious cycles of abuse.
Empathy is like a dimmer switch. At level 0 learners will grow up to have great difficulty in relating to others and they become deeply self-centred. At level 6, learners will grow up to go out of their way to be emotionally supportive towards other people and will help others in distress.
