‘We close the divide because we know, to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside’ Amanda Gorman 2021
In this “Week of Diversity,” will you also help engage children in conversation about customs and habits?
Donate now and travel with us to Empathy Land! We live in a society where understanding and respect for each other’s culture is increasingly important.
The Connect2Us Foundation has worked with a number of elementary school children and their teachers to develop Empathy Land.
An exciting and educational board game that promotes understanding of each other.
By playing Empathy Land, students learn to discuss things respectfully and to stand up for their opinions.
How is it with your family?
We are used to it this way and that.
Children learn to understand and, above all, accept differences.
We don’t have to adopt each other’s customs, but understanding each other creates togetherness and a better world.
Moreover, we see better what unites us. Read more here. In short: children develop empathy, learn to think critically and better recognize unfounded opinions and thus prejudices.
The game is bilingual, Dutch and English.
We are very proud of Empathy land!
