The Secondary 1 Omni youths were introduced to the concept of compassion, what it means and why people need it.

The youths explored the relationship between compassion and happiness by using two activities: a step in/step out activity on Kahoot and a sharing of a moment of kindness on Padlet.

Through watching a video, the youths were invited to practice perspective-taking and put themselves in another person's shoes. To conclude the session, we asked the youths to share what they have learnt about Kindness and Compassion.

It is important for students to explore the connection between kindness and happiness, which is the topic of our next Session "Exploring Happiness".

OMNI

Omni was launched in 2020. Its name is derived from the six-syllable mantra, “OM Ma NI Padme Hum,” and signifies one who is omniscient and knows literally everything, just like the Buddha. Adrian, Brian, Chieng Yee, Hiuyan, Liang See, Jasmine, Rachel, Richard and Xiu Jian guide the class, which comprises a group of secondary school students, along on their journey to great wisdom and compassion.
