Exeter Festival of Compassion

Join us for the Exeter Festival of Compassion at the University of Exeter

Following a truly unprecedented year, now more than ever the value of compassion to our lives, institutions, and communities has been amply demonstrated.

We are bringing together academics, practitioners, campaigners, and activists, working in a number of fields, for a festival on compassion in its broadest sense, to coincide with the celebration of this year’s ‘World Compassion Day’.

The Festival of Compassion is a university-based event which will consolidate and present some of the key current thinking related to compassion, and offers practical suggestions about how to actively implement compassion for wellbeing both in university and in life beyond it.

Join us for activities online, on campus and in the city of Exeter to listen to engaging talks from renowned experts and participate in ‘taster’ sessions with practitioners, including: art; yoga; music; photography; therapy; spiritualism; guided nature walks, and much more.
