What is Compassion Matters?

„Compassion Matters seeks to increase individuals awareness and understanding of themselves and others while also inspiring compassionate actions.

During the past three years, our project has grown to include resources and courses available for children, young people, aged 10-18 years old. We have also expanded to include more support for teachers and educators. More information about each of our projects can be found below.

Each of our projects is based on findings and ideas of leading researchers in the fields of ethics, psychology and education. A copy of our evidence base ‘Compassion and Wellbeing’ can be downloaded here.“
