Compassion Games

Compassion Games: Survival of the Kindest is a global initiative that empowers individuals and teams to engage in acts of compassion, from random acts of kindness to well-organized service projects. Anyone can participate—showing kindness to themselves, helping others they know, assisting strangers, promoting fairness in systems, future generations, or caring for animals and all life on Earth. Through friendly ‘coopetition’ (win-win challenges), players inspire and amplify compassionate actions, building their capacity for kindness and strengthening communities. In the Compassion Games, no one loses—the more people play, the more everyone wins, creating a ripple effect that fosters a global culture of compassion. The Compassion Games are inspired by the Potlatch that revolves around the act of giving, where chiefs and other hosts would offer gifts to their guests, sometimes giving away a significant portion of their own wealth. The Potlatch was not just an expression of generosity but a demonstration of status, reciprocity, and the interconnectedness of all members within a community. It symbolized wealth as something to be shared rather than hoarded, embodying a powerful principle of social and ecological balance.
