The cultivation of compassion, both as a concept as well as an embodied principle, can have personal as well as social ramifications. We will examine various notions of compassion, look at inspiring examples of compassionate actions, and reflect how compassion can be an effective practice for inner and outer transformation. Participants should feel inspired to become compassionate leaders themselves, using compassion as a powerful tool to address severe human rights violations.
