The Research
The Lunch Project develops empathy through education, cultural respect and empowerment.
At an early age, children learn to recognize similarities and differences. What if we could help transform this recognition into appreciation, both at the individual and cultural level?
The Lunch Project’s Global Empathy Education Program equips individuals with 21st century skills, such as critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration. Empathy creates a more inclusive community and a willingness to make a positive impact.
Studies show that when young people have empathy, they display:
-More classroom engagement
-Higher academic achievement
-Better communication skills
-Lower likelihood of bullying
-Less aggressive behaviors and emotional disorders
-More positive relationships
