"The impact is palpable: bullying has decreased, and a sense of empathy and understanding now permeates the hallways!"
Gena Cuevas, Deputy Headteacher

"Students need to see lives that are different from their own. They need to see the world beyond these walls and that's exactly what the platform does in the best way possible"

Primary Schools
From age 5 students can start flexing their empathy muscles, exploring real human stories and seeing themselves and others represented. The journey to tangibly creating a culture of belonging starts here.
Secondary Schools
Our cinematic films and resources are making a difference to schools. Enabling teachers to navigate those harder human conversations whilst being a catalyst for students to feel seen, heard and understood. Whether it's assemblies, PSHE lessons or a a spur of the moment life lesson - we got you!

Why Empathy? With Founder & CEO Ed Kirwan
Empathy is the one skill that underpins all other human skills - leadership, creativity, communication, perspective, resilience and more!
It allows us to understand ourselves, each other and the world around us as well as help regulate our emotions, process our feelings and build better relationships.
We define empathy as the skill to understand another and the ability to create space for someone to reveal their authentic self, whilst reserving judgement.
Empathy Studios is an education and creative studio developing the skill of empathy through film, education and training.
Our journey started in the classroom and led to the creation of Empathy Week in 2020 and Empathy Studios in 2024. We've since reached 1.8 million students across 56 countries and counting.
