We use beautiful, cinematic film as a tool in education to develop the skill of empathy in all. Why? Because empathy is the foundation for all other human skills, wellbeing and belonging. It is to us, the most important skill to develop in the world of Ai and tech.
Previously a teacher in London, Ed is CEO of
Empathy Studios, an education and creative organisation using the power of film to develop the skill of empathy in all. A director, filmmaker and an educator for 10+ years, Ed also started
Empathy Week, the world’s largest empathy festival for schools. It is free for any school, anywhere and has reached 2.5 million students across 56 countries since its launch in 2020.
When not banging on about empathy, Ed is playing basketball (just about), obsessing over cameras and probably planning a trip somewhere.
