Empathy to Impact: Student Voices on Global Citizenship Education & Community Engagement

“Activism is a verb. It’s a doing word. It’s not a title. It’s not a position. It’s what you do. The moment you make your environment, your community, or your current situation better you are an activist.” These are the words of my guest, Erioluwa, a community organizer and youth leader with a group called YouthxYouth. I catch you up with him (virtually) for this episode of the Empathy to Impact podcast in his home in Lagos, Nigeria. Join us as we discuss different archetypes of activism and how YouthxYouth is allying with young people across the world to engage in conversations and action to redesign the future of education and have an impact in our communities.

What is Empathy to Impact: Student Voices on Global Citizenship Education & Community Engagement?

Empathy to Impact is a podcast designed for educators dedicated to global citizenship education. We explore themes of sustainability, service learning, student leadership, and community engagement, empowering students to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable future.
While educators grasp the “why” and “what” of global citizenship, this podcast delves into the “how”. Through engaging storytelling and student voices, we provide authentic connections to curriculum, and showcase practical tools and frameworks that you can implement in your classroom.
By viewing learning experiences through the lens of Empathy to Impact, we can inspire students to take meaningful steps toward becoming global citizens and transform the culture of education in our schools.
Join us as we amplify the voices and stories of students who take ownership of their learning and make a difference in their communities.
