About the event

Compassion in the Age of Fracture

Join us for a deep dive into compassion and empathy in today's world, exploring how compassion can bridge our fractured society.

About this Event

We warmly invite you to book the date for a landmark event hosted by the Principal of the University of Edinburgh, Professor Sir Peter Mathieson, celebrating a Decade of the Global Compassion & Empathy Initiative.

Join acclaimed journalist Allan Little and distinguished guests and friends as we explore the practice and potential of compassion to speak into crises, bridge divides, and transform our fractured world.

The morning will continue the theme of this year’s Edinburgh International Festival 'The Truth we Seek' drawing on ways in which the science and practice of compassion and empathy can reshape the future.
