EMPATHY DAY 2025!
We wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone that took part in this year’s Festival, and jumped into someone else’s story with us!
You joined us from 30 different countries across the world, and in every region of the UK, with many settings taking part over multiple days.
The world needs empathy now more than ever, and as we look ahead to a National Year of Reading in 2026, we want to get everyone shouting about the empathy-building power of books. Help us grow an empathy-educated generation, inspired to build a better world for everyone. 2026 promises to be even BIGGER and BOLDER. Empathy Day will be 11 June, save the date!
