What does empathy mean to you? How can we teach and nurture empathy with both adults and children? How did one woman change our understanding of product design for the better with the help of empathy?

In this episode, poet in residence Lottie Walker explores empathy. How can we tap into the experiences of others in order to build inclusive working environments? How can product design enable us to see with the eyes of another? Let's find out through experiments in the art of empathy.

In How to Hatch, Lottie takes a closer look at our human skills with the help of film, literature and art. We can learn a lot from the culture we surround ourselves with. Creativity is an indicator of how we think and feel, how we relate to and communicate with each other. Let’s find out how we can understand our skills through culture. In the coming episodes we’ll be taking a look at failure, empathy, uncertainty and intuition through cartoons, classical music and more.
