Building empathy and fighting disinformation
The children learning how to respect each other and understand their emotions better.
***This programme contains references to sexual violence***
We look at solutions that focus on teaching children how to respect each other and understand their emotions better. We visit a primary school in Botswana where a charity called Think Equal is helping teachers put empathy at the heart of their teaching and speak to Think Equal's founder Leslee Udwin. Plus, Myra visits a school in East London where teenagers are being taught how to interpret what they read online as part of an initiative to tackle misinformation and polarisation.
People Fixing The World from the 麻豆社 is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems. We release a new edition every Tuesday. We'd love you to let us know what you think and to hear about your own solutions. You can contact us on WhatsApp by messaging +44 8000 321721 or email peoplefixingtheworld@bbc.co.uk.
