Sunair Zakir has done a bachelors in Economics from LUMS and is currently completing his Master’s Thesis which revolves around developing an empathy scale through which we can measure the level of tolerance. Sunair Zakir is the co-founder of Ravvish which is a social enterprise working for peace building and conflict resolution. The idea is to engage middle and high school students with a team of motivated in-class trainers, and cultural representatives from over 10 different countries in order to allow them to personalize their perspective about stereotyped cultural and religious groups. Our mission is to build bridges of tolerance through the use of advanced technology to build human connections and crowd out the idea of "us and the others". The program also encourages students to value their local language, culture and traditions and have a better understanding of their identity. He believes that the intolerance in the community is increasing every day and one of the biggest reasons for that is the growing gap between ourselves and others who we perceive
to be different from us. According to him, it was essential that we build bridges between people from different religions, ethnicities, countries and cultures which would promote empathy and build a better place to live for generations to come.
