Chatterbox is a toolkit that is the result of a partnership between the Museum and the Behavioural Sciences discipline at Notre Dame University.

The aim was to create a set of principles to guide more empathetic conversations between people. We believe that a harmonious society is built on the strength of the conversations we have with each other, individually and in our communities.

We have created five Rules of Engagement for more cohesive conversations, underpinned by the universal values of Freedom, Tolerance, Respect and Fairness.

Together we need to find common ground in our shared humanity and remember that we all deserve to be treated equally and with respect.

Use this template to talk to your children about diversity, curiosity, understanding and empathy - all the tools you need for a cohesive society on one hand.
