The Empathy Project

Founded by Maryam and James, two friends from different backgrounds, The Empathy Project was created to bridge growing divides between Muslim/Arab and Jewish/Israeli communities in the UK — especially on university campuses. Misinformation and fear have made genuine connection difficult, and we wanted to change that.

Our mission is to combat dehumanisation through apolitical dialogue — creating spaces where students can share stories, build friendships, and foster empathy.
