THE 21-DAY EMPATHY CHALLENGE

Go Create It, a 501c3 charity, is proud to partner with Joshua Dobbs of the Pittsburgh Steelers to present The 21-Day Empathy Challenge (EC). The program takes students (ages 8-16) on a journey of self-discovery, while at the same time building empathy among peers. The positive anti-bullying program creates a peer-supported environment, which naturally reduces incidences of bullying.

WHAT IS  THE CODE ? The Code consist of four principles developed over the past twelve years of working with Elementary, Middle and High Schools. Each positive principle can be referenced when addressing dysfunctional behaviour. For example, if a student were to make fun of another student's accent or religion; the teacher can reference "Always Show Respect". If a student is giving in to negative peer pressure; the teacher can reference "Be Yourself". Each 36" x 24" poster includes a signature box for students to sign as a symbol of their commitment to living by the code. The poster can be referenced throughout the year.

THE JOURNAL The journal is the foundation of the EC program. It guides each participant through the daily thoughts, discussions and challenges. Topics and challenges include: one-on-one partner discussions small group discussions personal reflection the disability challenge the technology challenge the immigrant challenge reconciliation correspondence gratitude exercises affirmations and much much more It's amazing what can happen when students take a few minutes each day to interact with one another in a structured way. The journal allows participants to document their own personal journey as they learn about themselves and each other.

THE WRISTBAND A wristband is included for every EC participant to wear. It is a daily reminder of their journey and a symbol of their commitment to LIVE THE CODE.
