After checking things out, I’ve decided to pass this along to readers of the blog.

How can you make “hard” empathy a more tangible, concrete experience for young people?

You’ll find all the details about the application process and some hints for a successful submission here.

While Global in nature, I was delighted to see that there is a dedicated Canadian page here.

The site lists a number of professional learning resources and activities that may well be of interest to you, along with other things specifically designed for educators.
