Established in 1990, Rock In Prevention uses music and other innovative methods to educate children on issues of bullying and drug use, among other important, contemporary issues. Rock In Prevention addresses these issues through several programs, including Rock World Empathy.
Empathy is one of the most important qualities a child can develop. Rather than judging a person for the location of their birth, their appearance, or their economic status, parents and guardians should attempt to raise children who can place themselves in another person’s situation and understand how life might be different from their own, not to mention more difficult.
Rock World Empathy, one of the organization’s newest programs, is geared towards fostering exactly this attitude. Furthermore, the organization seeks to improve children and family’s media literacy and the understanding that most people are not simply embodiments of the current political landscape, but our neighbors and peers who deserve respect and understanding.
