Can kindness be taught? Can it be a form of activism? In this episode of Unfiltered by EmpowerED, we explore how kindness is being used not just as a value, but as a radical educational tool to help students thrive in today’s fast-changing world.

Vic shares how Kaplan Pathways' Kindness Curriculum is supporting international students in liminal spaces—between home and study, college and university, education and employment. We explore the role of kindness in shaping resilient, confident and connected learners—and why these human skills matter more than ever in an AI-driven age.

A must-listen for anyone passionate about compassionate pedagogy, emotional intelligence, and the future of education.
