Project
Description:
In public spaces and areas of potential conflict (protests etc) to hand
out cards that offer free empathy. People can redeem their card on the
spot to be heard by onsite listeners, or can give the card to someone
else and offer empathy to them. The card explains the basics of empathy
and how to practice empathy. Each card also has a unique tracking number
that can be accessed on a website. As the card is passed, holders of the
card can register their location, date and describe empathy experiences
for former and future holders of the card to see where and how their act
of empathy has carried on.
Goals:
1. To create a
culture of empathy that is traceable and trackable. As more people
participate, there are more examples of this being a possible
worldview, more people get on board.
2. Re-awaken and/or strengthen people's natural empathic ability.
3. Give people the experience of both sides of the human empathy
dynamic.
4. Create more face to face, heart to heart, human connection that
facilitates more dialogue, safety, freedom, and empathic action.
Ongoing Questions:
1. Strategies
for the most viral effect?
2. How to insure a non presumptuous approach?
