Empathy Box LIVE Session #2
Event Information
About this Event
"To change the world, we need to go back to a time when warriors would gather around a fire and tell stories."
– Paulo Coelho
As times get tougher and more challenging, what remains is our power to shape our own narratives and change the lens we put on to see the world.
Press Start Hong Kong and Shaping Minds HK are teaming up with our friends at Tribeless to bring you Empathy Box LIVE, an immersive, intimate experience of empathy in action with a small group of participants, led by trained facilitators using the Empathy Box tool.
Over the course of 2.5 hours, your facilitator will take you on a journey of empathy, discovery and reflection, where you will reflect on your life, share it as a story, listen to other participants' stories, and practice your empathy skills in response.
To keep the conversation intimate, we are opening up just a handful of spots.
Get ready to experience human connection like never before.
Hope to see you there.
