Empathy to Impact

We recently hosted Aaron Moniz, CEO of Inspire Citizens, to facilitate another Empathy to Impact two-day workshop for teachers from LESNW and LEVNT.

We had 18 attendees from seven learning communities and International Mission who learnt about how the Empathy to Impact cycle can be used as a lens for teacher planning to encourage more community partnerships and collaboration, providing real-world learning connections and resulting in a learning experience where learners feel a strong sense of purpose and connection to the learning they are undertaking.

Our ongoing partnership with Inspire Citizens continues to allow teachers in our schools to gain practical access to a range of tools, strategies and resources that take their new or existing units of learning or projects to new levels, aligned with growing young people who develop compassion, relational skills, purpose and a strong sense of adventure. As adult learners in the room, we certainly had to be adventurous as we grappled with new information and connection deep in the learning pit.

As with every professional learning opportunity we offer, the Empathy to Impact workshop was an excellent opportunity to strengthen our collective vision for learning, to network and foster colleague relationships across learning communities, and to be uplifted and reminded of the incredible expertise, commitment and passion that exists within our educator community.

This was our last offering of Empathy to Impact for 2026. If you would like to get staff involved in 2027, please reach out to me so that we can meet your needs.
