Social exclusion and ostracization are frequent occurrences in school. However, schools do have the power to prevent this phenomenon. Educators attest that schools that make efforts to improve social climate see a direct impact that reduces social exclusion among pupils.

Studies show that people with a high level of empathy are more sensitized to the environment. Empathy is like a muscle that can be trained and developed. When we are more empathetic to the people around us, we become more sensitive, less aggressive, and less violent.

When we teach children to be more empathetic to classmates, this improves the school's social climate, creates a healthier environment for children, and reduces social isolation or exclusion.

The "Empathy Studies" program provides the tools of inclusive design, exposing children to people from different social backgrounds to understand various limitations, disabilities, and needs. Thus, children undergo a learning process to experience and develop their "empathy muscle".
