At one time or another, have you been baffled by the opposite sex? It is safe to say, you are not alone.

Join us this Friday, August 25th at Fresh Start as we invite Stephany Zoo, Executive Director of Phoenix Risen, to run a workshop on empathy for the opposite sex. The purpose of which, is to encourage an equal platform between men and women; and through this, an increase in productivity and working cooperation, as well as the ability to create safer working environments for women.

This hands-on, intimate workshop is based on design-thinking to help men and women better empathize with each other. Although everyone interacts with the opposite sex on a daily basis, by learning new tools and methods, the workshop will help us find surprising insights about the people we are surrounded by every day.

During this interactive workshop, participants will respond to media, interview each other, and play with paper. Everyone will walk away with methods to not only communicate more effectively, but also more respectfully and intentionally.

Stephany Zoo is an entrepreneurial and passionate woman who has founded an e-commerce site, a tech-branding firm and has a number of projects focused on gender equality.

Phoenix Risen is a Shanghai-based organization that brings men and women together to combat sexism. They work with grassroots organizations and global corporations to run empathy workshops centered on boundary setting and power dynamics. They are active in six countries and 13 cities.

Fresh Start warmly invites you to attend the event, participate in the workshop and learn something new about the people you spend everyday with.
