It is a long-term process of educational interactions aimed at awakening sensitivity to suffering in its immense emanations. t is a response to the challenges of the postmodern day with its apotheosis of individualism in its extreme narcissistic version, with the technicalization and atrophy of ties and progressive alienation.

It involves preparing a man to live in society for the benefit of himself and others. Interchangeable terms are education for philanthropy, education for altruism.
