Charlotte Bellis, inspiring empathy

Journalist and St Margaret's College Old Girl Charlotte Bellis is shining a light on the power of empathy as a speaker at Empathy Week 2024.

SMC Old Girl Charlotte Bellis will be speaking at this year's Empathy Week. 

Empathy Week is a festival of films, resources and events designed to develop the skill of empathy in students aged 5-18. To date, the festival has reached 175,000 students in more than 40 countries. 

Charlotte's career as a journalist has taken her to Afghanistan, the Middle East and Europe. Her reporting is currently focused on Afghanistan and she believes that as a journalist, empathy has an outsized impact, as a catalyst for positive change, fostering inclusivity, breaking down barriers and nurturing understanding. 

The festival takes place 26 February - 1 March. Further information is available at www.empathy-week.com.
