Free Interactive Virtual Sessions
Project Empowerment consists of five virtual sessions in which students participate in discussions, activities, and develop service ideas with the instructor. Participants use the Circle of Compassion (shown on right) to learn how to bring about changes in self, family, community, school, and ultimately the world.
The program’s foundation rests on identifying the individual’s role at the various levels of the world, understanding the significance of the issues present there, and what they can do to make a difference at that level.
Participants in Project Empowerment engage in an array of interactive activities, some of which include questionnaires in which they are provided with various scenarios testing empathy to gauge how one would act in the given circumstance, acts of service to kindle the spirit of generosity and to see beyond the bounds of their privilege, and open discussions to convey the theme of consideration for individuals at all levels to encourage them to embody these values. Through cultivating a sense of understanding and compassion by thinking beyond themselves, these individuals will act with an increased level of compassion as they consider how their actions affect others and be inspired to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
