Empathy means trying to understand how another person feels, while respect means valuing their experiences, choices and individuality. Together, they help create a welcoming community where people feel heard and appreciated.

In this lesson, you will explore:

• How to recognise and acknowledge others’ feelings
• The importance of responding without judgement
• How to respect differences and personal boundaries
• Ways to show empathy through everyday actions

Reflection: Think of a moment when someone needed understanding. How could you respond with greater empathy and respect?
