Helsinki, Finland – United Vision recently held a remarkable seminar titled “Empathy and Culture of Living Together,” bringing together high school students for an evening dedicated to fostering empathy, cultural understanding, and unity within the community. The event, hosted in Helsinki, provided a unique platform for young people to explore the significance of coexistence, empathy, and acceptance, aiming to strengthen bonds across diverse backgrounds.
The evening began with a seminar that focused on the power of empathy as a bridge to understanding others’ perspectives and lived experiences. Through interactive discussions, participants explored how empathy fosters a sense of unity, encouraging everyone to celebrate differences rather than divide over them. Speakers and facilitators shared insights on building inclusive communities, emphasizing that understanding and compassion are crucial to peaceful coexistence.
The gathering included a cozy dinner and tea session, where attendees continued their discussions over warm beverages and a delicious meal. This relaxed setting allowed students to connect, exchange ideas, and share personal stories in a friendly and open environment.
To wrap up the evening, the group engaged in classic games like Pictionary and various board games, sparking laughter and conversation. These playful interactions broke down barriers, turning acquaintances into friends and creating a shared experience that everyone could enjoy.
United Vision is thrilled by the success of this event, seeing it as a step toward fostering a more inclusive, welcoming community for everyone. By providing a platform for young people to learn about empathy and cultural understanding, United Vision continues its mission to empower youth and promote social cohesion in Finland and beyond.
Here’s to creating more meaningful moments like these in the future, where every participant leaves inspired, connected, and committed to building a harmonious world.
