Since 1993, Denmark has been a global pioneer in teaching empathy as part of the school curriculum for children aged 6 to 16. This program focuses on helping students develop compassion, emotional intelligence, and social awareness alongside traditional academic skills.
Every week, Danish schools hold a dedicated “Klassens tid” (Class Time) session where students openly discuss their challenges, emotions, and social dynamics. Teachers guide conversations, encouraging classmates to listen, support one another, and find solutions together. This structured approach helps children build resilience, manage conflict, and understand perspectives beyond their own.
The impact has been significant. By nurturing emotional education from an early age, Denmark has seen a notable reduction in bullying and created classrooms where cooperation is valued over competition. These values extend into adulthood, shaping Danish society into one of the kindest and most socially supportive in the world.
Experts often link Denmark’s strong culture of empathy in schools to its consistently high rankings on the World Happiness Report and its reputation for having one of the most compassionate populations globally.

“Every morning I cleaned the steps of the church... not out of faith, but out of respect for tired feet.”
Andrés Toledo, 79, had a cloth, a broom, and a quiet routine.
At dawn, each day, he swept the steps of the neighborhood church.
He wasn’t on staff.
He wasn’t seeking praise.
He wasn’t even religious.
He simply said:
“Some come to church with broken faith, but tired feet.
The least I can do is let them step on something clean.”
He cleared away dust, leaves, and rain-soaked mud.
He worked in silence—always before the doors opened.
One morning, a young man asked:
“Why do you do this if no one asks you to?”
And Andrés replied:
“Because some acts aren’t prayer… but they’re still sacred.”
A street photographer caught him in a single frame—bent over, broom in hand, cleaning before sunrise.
The photo went viral.
Thousands commented:
“Not everyone who protects a temple is inside it.
Some start at the entrance.”
Andrés still shows up every morning.
When someone stops to thank him, he simply smiles and says:
“It’s not for the church.
It’s for the people.”
🙏

Beautiful words by the Pontiff. Truly, great people are those who do not live for themselves but dedicate their lives to serving others. This selflessness grants them honor not only in this world but also in the hereafter. Share if you agree. #PopeFrancis #Inspiration #LiveForOthers #Kindness #Selflessness
