What can
be done to help?
Acts have worked in partnership with Chester
University and Macmillan to develop 2 training sessions:
Kindness
awareness raising (1 hour)
This looks at what kindness is, and the benefits of
kindness. It explores people’s motivation to carry out acts of kindness and
talks about the kindness journey starting with self-awareness, leading to people’s
habits changing to routinely carrying out acts of kindness.
It will finish describing some ‘take away tools’ to
try including a random acts of kindness postcard and a work sheet.
Kindness
workshop (2 hours)
Participants will firstly explore what kindness is and
what it means to them. There will then be a short introduction to the ‘kindness
journey’ and how we first need to be kind to ourselves before we can be kind to
others.
We will then explore the barriers and opportunities in
our organisations, and communities. We will finish by exploring ways we could
carry out acts of kindness and have some take-away actions to try to create a
kinder culture within our teams and wider organisations.
Why we are doing this?
Acts is a charity that believes acts of
kindness, and encouraging others to carry out acts of kindness can have a
positive impact on an organisations culture.
By equipping individuals and teams with tools to inspire, motivate and
encourage people to carry out acts of kindness.
This will have a ripple effect outwards creating a more supportive and
cohesive organisation.
