At Saamarthya Foundation, we believe that fostering empathy and inclusion in the classroom is essential for the success and well-being of all children. Our LEND (Learning Empathy, Nurturing Diversity) workshop is designed to equip educators with the skills, knowledge, and resources to create positive, inclusive learning environments where every child, regardless of their background or abilities, can thrive.
Learning Empathy, Nurturing Diversity
The LEND workshop is tailored for educators teaching grades 1–5 and focuses on implementing an empathy-driven curriculum that develops essential social-emotional and communication skills. By teaching students to understand and appreciate their differences, the curriculum helps cultivate kindness, respect, and self-awareness, laying the foundation for a supportive classroom environment.
