Weaving Empathy (WE) is a project designed to support initiatives aimed at promoting community safety and social cohesion in Aotearoa New Zealand, particularly in response to tensions arising from conflicts in the Middle East. The proposed activities include Brave Dialogue Workshops and Eat Together conversational meals. These initiatives aim to equip participants with skills to address divisive attitudes, challenge negative narratives, and foster intercultural and interfaith understandings and cooperations.
