Crafting with Compassion; Creating Compassion Cards for Palestine
- Jameel Arts Centre Jaddaf Waterfront Sculpture Park Dubai UAE (map)
A meaningful collaboration with Jameel Arts Centre, a workshop suitable for children of all ages at the annual Down to Earth Event.
The meticulously designed workshop addressed current events from a positive and constructive perspective, fostering empathy and emotional sharing. The development of empathy is an ongoing journey from childhood through adolescence. Cultivating empathetic behaviour is essential for our psychosocial well-being and serves as a fundamental prerequisite for engaging in pro-social actions and cooperating with others.
Our workshop featured engaging activities that utilised hands-on and group-based interactive approaches, enabling children to perceive and convey affective messages while expressing their feelings creatively.
