Compassion helps us connect with others, build relationships, and develop a social consciousness while nurturing emotional intelligence and well-being. Critical to compassion is the ability to recognise the suffering, distress and need in other people. In this activity students analyse a media clip to help visualise how small acts of kindness can demonstrate compassion.

When schools strengthen relationships with community-based organisations they engage in environments positively impacts on students’ awareness and experiences. Volunteering can make students feel more confident and connected to people. This activity encourages students to create a plan to volunteer and support a local cause - and in doing so demonstrate compassion.
A compliment is one of the most under-rated acts of kindness and very powerful! Giving a genuine compliment demonstrates care and concern for others – which is at the root of compassion. In this activity students write compliments that show awareness, care and sensitivity to others and give them away freely to those who need a positivity boost!
