In this interactive session, Keetie will discuss the power of empathy in addressing socioeconomic injustice. Innate in all of us, empathy lays a foundation for action – big and small – to fight poverty and inequality in the UK and around the world. Join this session to be challenged about your own preconceptions about poverty, learn about the 3Rs of empathy, and be inspired about what you can do to create positive social change.
