Solution

The response to the Charter has helped reveal the existence of a subterranean global compassion movement. We work to support the emergence and effec>veness of that movement in communi>es everywhere, enabling thousands of organiza>ons to act in concert to create a world in which dialogue transforms conflict. We inspire and sustain cultures of compassion locally and globally through diverse ini>a>ves in educa>on, ci>es, business, health care, and religious and spiritual communi>es. Through a vibrant Partner Network and global communica>on plaPorms we share informa>on, stories and experiences.

The ci>es that sign on to become Compassionate Ci>es are working to iden>fy the unique issues that need to be addressed through compassionate ac>on in their par>cular place on Earth. Issues range from a lack of social jus>ce for women, for immigrants, for the LGBT community, or for those orphaned by the tragedy of the AIDS epidemic. In some communi>es, it is issues of drugs, or gang violence, or the need for equitable healthcare or confron>ng the effects of environmental racism in marginalized communi>es. Others are working to provide empowerment to youth and to educate people about the need for compassion in addressing environmental issues.

The concern of people in all these communi>es is driven by the idea that beneath our culture of indifference runs a deep river of compassion, a vast aquifer of loving kindness wai>ng to be tapped, yearning to be released. In the 21st century, scien>fic evidence has mounted for compassion as an essen>al ingredient in maintaining thriving, healthy, resilient, and innova>ve enterprises, ins>tu>ons, and communi>es.

We started 2016 with 311 compassionate ini>a>ves and ended 2017 with 405 ci>es, in 52 countries of the world. We made some significant headway with lending support to grassroots teams of organizers who struggled to address the most grave and pressing problems within their communi>es.

Every city is different, with a unique history, and a confluence of diverse cultures, languages, and habits. So every city has a unique path to becoming a community in which compassion comes alive. However, what all ci>es have in common is that in order for compassion to build, there is a call for ci>zens who have the imagina>on, energy, and courage to start the movement.

We have selected some stories that highlight the excep>onal work that happened within our compassionate ci>es in 2016-17. There are hundreds of such stories and while we know some, we realize we don’t know them all. A`er all, this is a grassroots movement in which many of the coordinators and team members of an ini>a>ve have jobs, families and even if they are re>red are working harder than they ever have. All are challenging themselves and their team members to assure that tomorrow will not resemble the past but will bring light to a new story compassionate care.

The Compassion team in Pakistan has been working on a significant number of projects since 2011. They have become globally known for some of their “firsts”: a Compassion Schools Network, Collabora>ve Library Project, Compassionate Cricket Club, Compassionate Community Network, Business Quo>ent, Ramzaan Challenge among others. An ongoing commitment is to collect one million signatures among Karachi ci>zens to the Charter for Compassion.

In the last two years three new ini>a>ves were started.

Mumkin was launched in three geographic areas, targe>ng around 25-35 women in each community. Ages are ranging between 19-45 years.

Training in fashion designing and entrepreneurial skills is being provided in collabora>on with Fashion and Business Ins>tutes. The aim is to help women make compe>>ve quality products which can compete with market standards and enable par>cipants to sell their products within their own communi>es at affordable prices.

Educa6on Management Organiza6on (EMO)

According to famous saying; “If you educate a woman you educate an en>re genera>on.” Mumkin is a social learning space for underprivileged women to come together, socially connect with each other, acquire useful skills and share their knowledge. The project >tle highlights the message that women are equal members of society and with the right aftude and improved skill set; it is possible for them to become a thriving asset for a society.

A`er consistent efforts of the Charter for Compassion (CFC) to make humanity common in all corners of Pakistan; the Charter made another goal to take educa>on to the next level in the country. The EMO project along with the CFC made a Sindh Educa>on Sector Plan which sets its goal to make every child in the province not only educated without financial aid, but also given quality educa>on compe>ng the private schooling system and opportuni>es for deserving youth to earn a living through teaching profession. The project aims to make educa>on common regardless of gender, ethnicity, and class or language barriers. Opera>ve since 25th Feb 2016, this project has been successful in opening several schools and has started educa>ng several millions of pupils in areas like Sukkur and Khairpur, and aims to spread more rapidly than before in other areas of Sindh at large.

Since the occurrence of the most devasta>ng heat wave in Karachi in 2015, the city witnessed a deep shock of loosing more than 1200 lives. This warranted immediate ac>on, leading to the crea>on of Compassionate Footprint project. The CFC Pakistan teams went into an immediate overdrive to spread awareness about the environment. The target audience was schools and an awareness campaign was supplemented with a planta>on drive to increase the strength of the immediacy and importance of the message.

As the grassroots organizers of Pune say: Poona Pune is the Pune of our deepest dreams: a city which is spiritually fulfilling, economically thriving, socially just and environmentally sustainable. It is a Compassionate City where everyone is a Leader who ini>ates ac>on on things that they deeply care about in a way that others are inspired to join. It is a city of “Changemakers” (to use the term of Ashoka).

Compassionate Pune is dedicated to crea>ng a community with a thriving ecosystem for human evolu>on and well being—a city that is environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling and socially just.

Recently a cadre of the team formed a group, ICatalysts®, who are working directly with other ci>es to share processes that bring about compassionate transforma>on. However, most important to the organizing team (pictured below) is working in the field of educa>on.

Principal’s Round Table

Star>ng in 2016 Compassionate Pune created the Principal’s Round Table. The opening event, was amended by over one hundred educators including principals and head administrators, represen>ng schools and ins>tu>ons across the city and local region.

Nipun Mehta, founder of ServiceSpace, an incubator of gi` economy projects that inspire people to be the change they wish to see, launched this new ini>a>ve. Par>cipants had an opportunity to share their experiments in compassion and kindness projects. The Principal’s Round Table and another new project, Educa>on Today Society Tomorrow, con>nue to offer workshops, work in local schools and collaborate on compassionate curriculum.

Begun in June 2016, the Sri Lanka Compassion Ini>a>ve is a project to bring back compassion in both public and private lives, star>ng first in Colombo, and then to other outlying areas adjacent to the city.

The launch was a shared fellowship dinner. Coming together, on the streets of Dehiwal, Colombo, residents “broke their fast” by having a street dinner. This was an interfaith gathering.

While this was the first step in developing an understanding of each other #compassioncolombo, the compassionate ini>a>ve is now working to expand its presence by working with volunteer efforts in healthcare and educa>on programs that are working within the Colombo area.

Begun in early 2016, Compassionate Yemen was a response to the horrors of war and internal displacement of people within Yemen, and most par>cularly in the city of Sana’a. In their sustainable ac>on plan, the team stated that they are working to send a message that they are prepared to work and not fight through adop>ng projects and quality programs in several fields.

Specifically their goals are:

• Help the community during and a`er the war

• Link Sana'a as a compassionate city with ci>es of mercy around the world

• Form a network of local coopera>on between non-profit organiza>ons in Yemen

• Spread the peace, by sending a message to the figh>ng sides about the possible damage they are crea>ng.

• Spread awareness on the risks of weapons.

The team has been able to set up safe houses for refugees, start a meal program, provides services in hospitals.

Handvest voor Compassie—Compassionate Netherlands

The first Charter for Compassion ini>a>ve in Europe was the Netherlands, In May, 2016 Romerdam became the 76th City to Affirm the Charter. Mayor Aboutaleb affirmed the Charter for Compassion on behalf of the ci>zens of of Romerdam. In his speech he emphasized the importance of ‘so` powers’ in society today. "All the threats and confronta>ons with violence and terror should never make us forget how important it is to keep seeing others as human beings.”

In a video message that Karen Armstrong made especially for Romerdam, she once more accentuated that the West should pay more amen>on to civilian casual>es in far away wars (Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan) to make clear that all lives are equally valuable. Romerdam received congratula>ons from the mayor of Belfast, the Charter for Compassion Australia, Idaho, Atlanta, Tucson and Louisville.

The ‘We-society program’ of the city will, from now on be strongly connected to these ci>es.

Other highlights for Handvest have included:

• Recorded a video with Mayor Lenferink of Leiden in which he tells what compassion means to his city (Leiden was the first Netherlands city to sign the Charter in 2009). Collaborated with Compassion for Care, Vereniging Arts en Auto and the Career Care Center on the organiza>on of the Compassion Prize 2017 with the theme Care and the ques>on "Who cares for the healthcare provider?"

• The Compassieprijs 2017 was awarded on Saturday, November 25 during the members event at Vereniging Arts and Auto in Beesd. The jury chose from the 22 submimed projects (including six within Dutch hospitals) the ini>a>ve "More pa>ent consulta>on >me" from a general prac>>oner won.

Waves of Compassion—Halifax, Canada and the Interfaith Community

As Jim Tolbert and Kim McAulay, founders of Waves of Compassion in Halifax say: “There’s always room for a limle more compassion in the world, and one non-profit organiza>on has developed a tool kit to ensure that compassion reaches every corner of the Halifax community. This has been the most recent accomplishment of the compassion team.

Waves of Halifax has been developing the toolbox over the last several years and are now ready to put it to the test by encouraging local partners to use it in order to find their own way to become compassionate businesses, schools and universi>es, healthcare and interfaith organiza>ons. Halifax Regional School Board and Halifax Regional Municipality have both commimed to u>lizing the tool box within their ins>tu>ons.

Waves of Halifax also works closely with the local Interfaith Community and were instrumental in being involved in the organiza>on being awarded the 2016 World Interfaith Harmony Award. In April 2016, Anthony Power and Kim MacAulay, representa>ves from Waves of Compassion and Interfaith Harmony Halifax (IHH), along with two representa>ves from Uniharmony Partners Manila, Philippines, and the interna>onal Euclid University were at the award ceremony in Jordan’s Royal Court to receive the King Abdullah II World Interfaith Harmony Week Prizes.

In making selec>ons, the judges took into considera>on efforts made despite scan>ness of resources, but also took into considera>on the terms of the Prize, judges rewarded events specifically celebra>ng the World Interfaith Harmony Week rather than good interfaith work in general. Also, they further took into considera>on whether events were consistent with the text of the U.N. Resolu>on establishing the Prize. Accordingly, judges rewarded events which respected each religion as it is; in accordance

The World Interfaith Harmony Week is based on United Na>ons General Assembly Resolu>on A/65/PV.34 for a worldwide week of interfaith harmony. It was proposed in 2010 by HM King Abdullah II and HRH Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad of Jordan. The World Interfaith Harmony Week will fall on the first week of February of every year and aims to promote harmony between all people regardless of their faith.

The World Interfaith Harmony Week seeks to spread the message of harmony and tolerance among the followers of all the world’s religions, faiths, and beliefs. It seeks to do this by promo>ng their common basis of “Love of God and Love of the Neighbor, or Love of the Good and Love of the Neighbor”. Its message invites everyone, excludes no one, and is purely voluntary.

In 2016, the Compassionate City of Belfast led four community “Conversa>ons Exploring Compassion.” The event descrip>on shared that the aim was to explore “how the Charter for Compassion will translate into a tangible plan for compassionate ac>on among our ci>zens and communi>es,” as well as, “how it can be best used to promote an understanding in our unique city context of Belfast.”

Frank Liddy, Chairperson of Compassion City of Belfast and Co-founding Director of the Belfast Mindfulness Centre who has extensive experience in the community care voluntary mental health sector as well as mindfulness based ini>a>ves, was kind enough to share his reflec>ons on these events. He explained that the Compassionate City Belfast Board and Marilyn Turkovich (Director, Charter for Compassion) were inspired to bring compassionate conversa>ons across the city of Belfast and to explore what a compassionate city there would look like.

“Here in Belfast we have four quarters to our city and due to our troubled past, each quarter more or less remains separate in a once divided city,” explained Liddy. The sad news is that these some>mes quarters were separated by what [are] called the peace walls or lines...the West was predominately aligned to Green/ Republicanism and Na>onalist/ Catholic, the East would be seen as Orange/ Protestant/Loyalist, the North would have been described as a patchwork area of both Protestant / Catholic and other (the North of the city also experienced the most loss through the troubles), and the South of the city was a neutral area and a more affluent area.”

One Board member served as a host and one as support for each event. Bill Shaw covered the North with Mary McManus as his support, Carolyn Blair covered the South with Frank Liddy as support, Mary McManus covered East Belfast with Bill Shaw in support, and Frank Liddy covered the West with Carolyn Blair as support. The Northern Ireland Mental Health and Arts Film Fes>val (NIMHAFF) was also an organizer of Conversa>ons Exploring Compassion in East Belfast.

During the conversa>ons, informa>on was shared though a presenta>on and video explaining how the Belfast Compassionate Charter was formed and endorsed by City Hall, and about the Charter for Compassion. Par>cipants broke up into groups to discuss the meaning of compassion and what compassion in Belfast might look like. The workshops lasted from 90 minutes to two hours on average and ended with a video of The Golden Rule, which “on feedback from par>cipants was a great note to end on offering hope.”

Compassionate Australia’s New City Ini6a6ve: Compassionate Gold Coast

The Charter for Compassion was recognized by the Australian Parliament in 2010. It was the first parliament in the world to affirm the Charter.

In prepara>on for the launch of its strategic plan in 2021, Australia: A Con<nent for Compassion, the Charter for Compassion Australia is introducing four ini>a>ves.

The Launch

Australia: A Con>nent for Compassion will be formally launched via a series of coordinated events across Australia on 21 September 2021. That par>cular day has been chosen as it coincides with the United Na>ons Day of Peace. A project group will be established to plan and oversee the details of this launch.

Each year an annual day of compassion will be held across Australia. This day will provide an interpersonal opportunity for all Australians to engage in expressing compassion.

Australian Compassion Ci6es Movement

Compassionate ci>es provide a visible presence for engaging council-wide communi>es to come together to recognize and respond to the need for human interac>on and allevia>on of suffering, in innova>ve and meaningful ways.

Compassionate Ac6on Network

The Compassion Ac>on Network encourages grassroots gatherings of people to host conversa>ons on how compassion can be implemented in their work and community lives.

The Gold Coast Affirms the Charter for Compassion

City of Gold Coast formally became a Compassionate City on 21 September, 2017.

Compassionate Gold Coast will focus on:

• Sharing stories of compassion.

• Facilita>ng mul>-sectorial gatherings to discuss key issues the community faces.

In the fall of 2015, the organiza>on Encuentro Mundial de Valores (EMV), a group dedicated to universal human values began to work as the organizing team for the Charter for Compassion —State of Nuevo Leon in Mexico. Since that ini>a>on, EMV has accomplished remarkable work. Thirteen ci>es and the State of Nuevo Leon affirming the Charter for Compassion :

• Allende

• Apodaca

• Cadereyta Jimenez

• El Carmen

• General Escobedo

• Guadalupe

• Mina

• Montemorelos

• Monterrey

• State of Nuevo Leon

• San Nicolas

• San Pedro

• Santa Catarina

• San>ago with a sustainable ac>on plan for bringing compassion to their public and private ins>tu>ons.

In 2016, the Compassion State of Nuevo team established a School of Compassion which is dedicated into bringing compassion training in local prisons, and in 2017, the prison system of the State affirmed the Charter for Compassion offering training to inmates and prison personnel.

The School of Compassion also begun teacher training in schools and through EMV’s annual conference has sponsored workshops on compassionate educa>on in 2016 and 2017. They have also conducted sessions in local private and public schools throughout the state.

Closely associated with several NGO’s, EMV is collabora>ng to work in local universi>es, eleven of which have affirmed the Charter for Compassion, in ini>a>ng charitable projects throughout Monterrey and its surrounding areas and to provide services in coopera>on with other organiza>ons.

Compassionate Atlanta, GA

The Compassionate Atlanta Organizing Team in 2016-17 have been working on five specific ini>a>ves to support:

One of the best ways to raise awareness about the benefits of compassionate ac>on is to host “compassion conversa>ons” with friends, family members, neighbors and co- workers. Compassionate Atlanta has been holding citywide conversa>ons throughout the year.

The Charter for Compassion’s call-to-ac>on has inspired businesses, schools and other organiza>ons to adopt the Golden Rule and to work with Atlanta’s compassionate projects.

Atlanta’s third ini>a>ve is to provide guidance and support to other communi>es and individuals who would like to begin prac>cing mindfulness. Periodically the team offers free Mindfulness Workshops around the Greater Atlanta area.

Compassionate Atlanta is engaging partners and organiza>ons in the greater Atlanta area to create conversa>ons and programming about apprecia>ng the differences we all bring to the table. Our communi>es possess a great deal of knowledge, exper>se and a willingness to learn how to be more compassionate to others who are different from ourselves. The first step is recogni>on and then listening and learning.

We know that our children and youth face many challenges as they grow up in a complicated world. Educators and families too struggle with helping children face these challenges.

Compassionate Atlanta seeks to increase the opportuni>es for understanding and compassionate ac>on in the lives of our children and youth in order to create more vibrant and healthy communi>es, schools and families.

The Aus>n City Council passed a Resolu>on n April 14, 2016 designa>ng Aus>n as a Compassionate City!

Suppor6ng and Befriending a Refugee Family

Canopy Northwest Arkansas (Canopy NWA), a refugee resemlement nonprofit, approached Compassion Fayemeville in the fall of 2016 about sponsoring a refugee family. Members teamed up with the Unitarian Universalist Church, Temple Shalom and The Omni Center to collect donated items and run a GoFundMe campaign to finance the resemlement.

The family of three arrived with four suitcases and very limle English. The resemlement team provided transporta>on, clothing, food and other types of assistance and mentoring to the new Fayemeville residents. Both of the parents are now employed, their son is amending school and the trio is gefng to know other local families.

“With needs so great, it can feel overwhelming. But with each and every act of kindness that Compassion Fayemeville extends to our refugee family, they are delighPully and humbly thankful. In fact, their gra>tude takes my breath away,” expressed Dian Williams, board president of Compassion Fayemeville.

Each year Compassion Fayemeville works with other local groups to run a City-Wide Food Drive. Dian Williams described the efforts to provide food for all through the annual drive. Reflec>ng on the project, Dian William stated: Since poverty has such a deleterious effect on too many in our region, I am grateful for the number of people dedicated to this compassionate and very worthwhile food drive to bring food to the hungry.

Picture above illustrates Mayor Betsy Price’s Week of Compassionate Service.

The 2017 Healthcare Leadership Seminar was hosted by the Healthcare Constella<on of Compassionate Louisville with fiscal sponsorship for the seminar coming from the Charter for Compassion Interna<onal. Eminent teachers gave their <me for free. Sponsorship from the University of Louisville School of Medicine, the Kentucky Medical Associa<on, ChooseWell, Passport Healthplan and WellCare helped to offset the expenses of interna<onal students with financial need.

Health professionals from Africa, South America, Jordan, Israel, Tunisia, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the USA gathered June, 2017, for an intensive six-day immersion program exploring topics as diverse as ‘Who am I?’, ‘What is the nature of the mind-body connec>on and holis>c health?, ‘Where does compassion and spirituality fit in?’ and ‘Making a change’.

healthcareThe school was founded by a group of inspiring medical student leaders in the Netherlands – Humans in Health (www.humansoÅealth.com). Witnessing healthcare in crisis and not willing to devote a life>me to working in a broken system, they set about crea>ng an interna>onal network of young health leaders with a powerful mission – ‘To bring healthcare back to its core: to truly care for health.’ Drawing par>cipants from all around the world, HLS has also been hosted in Portugal and South Africa.

The 2017 HLS was hosted by the Healthcare Constella>on of Compassionate Louisville. Eminent teachers gave their >me for free. Sponsorships from the University of Louisville School of Medicine, the Kentucky Medical Associa>on, ChooseWell, Passport Healthplan and WellCare helped to offset the expenses of interna>onal students with financial need.

For Kentucky par>cipants it was an opportunity to frame health issues in a global context while building leadership and collabora>ve skills that will equip our community’s healthcare team of the future. As a teacher on the program, I found myself awestruck by the talent and determina>on of these young leaders. I feel certain that every single par>cipant will go on to lead amazing change in their health system.

Adapted from an ar>cle wrimen by Dr. Robin Youngson, instructor at the program and founder of Hearts in Healthcare.

In summary: only a fac>on of what is occurring in compassionate ci>es globally has been offered in this report. There were 405 ini>a>ves registered with the Charter by the end of 2017. A list of these ini>a>ves is below. Each community that has affirmed the Charter with its local government and working on a sustainable ac>on plan is noted with an asterisk.
