Welcome to Empathy for Peace
Empathy is the drive to identify with another's thoughts and feelings, and to respond to these with an appropriate emotion. We believe empathy-driven action is a key to building peaceful, just and fair communities. Our goal is to advance empathy research and its applications for conflict transformation, peace-building and truth & reconciliation.
We support multi- and inter-disciplinary research that explores the relationship between biological and environmental factors and our ability to empathize, and research that can be translated into improved community relations, stronger human rights policies, and a more compassionate world.
