Campus Earth Curriculum #45: Building a Culture of Empathy with Edwin Rutsch

This week, Brandi welcomes and introduces Edwin Rutsch to the GrassRoots Warrior Network. Edwin is the founding director of The Empathy Center, a non-profit dedicated to fostering a more empathic culture through education, awareness and community building initiatives in order to bridge divides and create a more caring, creative and innovative society for all. We get to know Edwin, talk about the values of empathy, learn about empathy circles and the many other programs offered by The Empathy Center, and how we can cultivate a culture of empathy.
