ESCalator: Experience a New Level of Empathy through the Empathoscope

Empathy is widely discussed today, particularly in a world where social polarization and global tensions are increasingly visible. Yet empathy is often approached as a cerebral concept rather than as a lived experience. What happens if we move beyond talking about empathy and instead create conditions to experience it together?
