UPL Program. Empathy of elementary school-age children and adolescents toward non-human animals

Pascal Mallet supervise a program funded by the UPL in collaboration with the laboratory PARAGRAPH (Raphaële Miljkovitch, University Paris 8) and the Museum of Quai Branly (Philippe Charlier). This program is focused on empathy of elementary school-age children and adolescents toward  non-human animals, and the function of this emotion and eco-anxiety in foreseing and preparing their future adult life and occupational career. One of the issues adressed by the program is about the role of knowledge about other civilizations in youth’s awareness that our relationship with other  living beings could be different, as well as our way of life.
