What if we started by listening? Our empathy interview package outlines both facilitator- and student-led empathy interview processes, with resources for understanding, hosting, and analyzing young people's conversations.

video overview

概要と目的

In all of Human Restoration Project's PD, we start with student empathy interviews. We speak with multiple groups of young people to learn about their hopes, dreams, and aspirations, connecting each to school. This process is aimed at school/district strategic planning, improving classroom environments, informing next steps for PD, and more. This contains all the resources you'd need to run these empathy interviews and/or train young people to host conversations with their peers.

educator notes

Our empathy interview process is a ~30-90 minute conversation with young people, usually in small groups, aimed at learning more about our community and learning goals. It is intentionally broad, proactive, and positive in scope, aimed at identifying key themes that can be further investigated over time. Our resource collection contains:

  • A conversation protocol that outlines setup, conversation norming, and questions asked
  • Fillable focus group response sheets that can be used to guide the conversation
  • A guide and training slidedeck for young people to begin hosting their own empathy interviews
  • Activities surrounding brainstorming questions for empathy interviews and hosting conversations through roleplay
  • An overview of our theming and analysis process (coming soon)
