Description
Empathy is our ability to understand and experience how others feel. We can use our empathy to understand a situation and support our community. Participants in this workshop will explore the concept of empathy by finding examples of empathy while listening to the story of a young boy and his father going fishing early in the morning. Finally, they will write a short poem from the perspective of one of the characters and illustrate it

  • Listen to a reading of A Different Pond by Bao Phi
