Brooks students will enjoy a special day of building a beloved community focusing on Brooks School's core value of empathy with guest speaker, writer/activist Dariana Guerrero in workshops that focus on "Simpatía: Building Beloved Community through a Latinx Lens."
Simpatía is deeply embedded in the broader cultural and social fabric of many Latinx societies. It's linked to other cultural values including familismo (the importance of family) and personalismo (the value of personal relationships). Embedded in the concept of simpatía is a deep sense of empathy. Understanding and being attuned to another person's feelings, even without them expressing it, is crucial. This level of empathy often extends beyond individual interactions to a broader sense of compassion for others in the community.
Students and faculty depart to celebrate Thanksgiving. The break concludes on November 27 (boarding students return by 8 p.m.).
