Our Vision

Inspired by Karen Armstrong's wish for a Charter for Compassion,



The Compassion Summit brings like-minded schools together

to create, enhance, and promote greater levels of compassion

through committed, compassionate action

within our school communities.


From The Charter:


We urgently need to make compassion a clear, luminous and dynamic force in our polarized world. Rooted in a principled determination to transcend selfishness, compassion can break down...boundaries. Born of our deep interdependence, compassion is essential to human relationships and to a fulfilled humanity. It is the path to enlightenment, and indispensable to the creation of a just economy and a peaceful global community.


The Compassion Summit focuses on compassionate action. Design Thinking Principles are used to create school Action Plans to be implemented within the school community.

Thank you for joining us on this important journey...
