Event: “The power of perspective taking-Understanding the what, why and how of empathy” Bengaluru, A. 12: Jaigopal Garodiya Rashtrotthana Vidya Kendra – Ramamurthy Nagar conducted a session on “The power of perspective taking-Understanding the what, why and how of empathy”. Session was conducted by Smt. Kavya Manoj the Counsellor of JGRVK for Grade IX students to help them explore the importance of perspective-taking and emotional understanding.
The session focused on what empathy is, why it matters in our daily lives, and how to practice it effectively. Empathy is a vital life skill that allows individuals to understand and share the feelings of others. By fostering this ability, students learn to build stronger interpersonal relationships, resolve conflicts constructively, and contribute to a more positive and inclusive classroom environment. The objective of the session was to make the students aware of the value of empathy and equip them with practical tools to apply it in their everyday interactions. Through interactive discussions and engaging activities, students were guided to reflect on their own emotions and consider the viewpoints of others. The session also emphasized how empathy strengthens Emotional Intelligence (EQ) – a key trait in effective leadership and responsible citizenship.
By the end of the session, students had a clearer understanding of empathy as a foundational element in becoming compassionate, thoughtful, and emotionally intelligent individuals – skills that will benefit them both inside and outside the classroom.
