Empathy is considered the starting point for any design project and constitutes the first step of the Design Thinking process. This step helps the designers to know their users and identify their needs, wants, and objectives. The amount and quality of time spent in this phase decide the success of the product. Similarly, the amount and quality of time spent by individuals in understanding the needs and wants of others helps in developing relationship skills and aids problem-solving in an effective way. Empathy and Design Thinking Thinking Session 1 and 2 organized by SELinEDU was one such event to help the people understand its importance. This session was live-streamed on Facebook and youtube.
