Partner with us
EmpathyLab aims to collaborate with schools and many other partners from libraries to digital innovators, businesses to universities, writers to parents and carers. We welcome your ideas and expertise as we shape our programme. Do join in – we’d love to hear from you!
On 21 July we hosted a briefing event called 'Let's Make Empathy Mainstream' in which those working in the corporate sector could find out more about partnering opportunities. You can catch up with our slides here, and the recording of the session is here (and below).
