Network of Empathy (noe) circles are moderated online gatherings that bring together young changemakers and activists—many from marginalized communities—across the world.

These safe, inclusive spaces offer participants the chance to share openly about the challenges they face, process their emotions, and reconnect with the values and visions that sustain their activism and changemaking.

What to expect in each circle

Each circle features inspiring guest speakers—activists, artists, and changemakers—who share their own stories of hope and transformation.

This is followed by space for reflection, dialogue, and connection with peers from across the world. You'll experience meaningful connection, get recharged on energy and hope, and feel understood in a space where people truly relate to your struggles.

Our approach

Our approach is grounded in empathy, active listening, and storytelling.

We believe that sharing lived experiences can inspire others, foster solidarity, and spark new ways forward. noe circles are spaces to pause, connect, and find the strength to keep going together.
