Walk In My Shoes Blog Series - Call For Content
The Nora Project is seeking Nora Project teachers, parents, and students to contribute content to our newest Nora Notes blog series: Walk in My Shoes. This series will highlight the day-to-day experiences of people from all backgrounds, careers, and ages.
At the heart of The Nora Project’s mission is teaching empathy, and never before has empathy been more important than in the Covid-era. As we teach our student participants, empathy is grounded in human connection. When we share our stories with others, we give them information about ourselves that helps them feel empathy and show us care and compassion in ways that truly meet our needs. The Nora Project aims to create more connections during this isolating time by inviting folks to share their stories on our Nora Notes Blog.
We hope that this series sheds light on the challenges we ALL face, and helps people develop empathy for one another in a time when human connection is lacking. We can’t wait for you to share your stories with us!
