Embodied Peace: Empathy and Emotional Intelligence

This session explores empathy and emotions through the lens of visual arts and their connection to peacebuilding. Participants will engage with emotional intelligence tools, including practical emotion-regulation exercises that contribute to trust, understanding, and peace in everyday life. Together, we will reflect on how we respond to challenges—from the personal to the global—by centering our humanity and approaching conflict with awareness and intention.
