A Mile in My Shoes is a shoe shop where visitors are invited to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes – literally.

Housed in a giant shoebox, Empathy Museum is coming to Coventry, with a specially curated collection of stories connected to the 30 individual articles of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, including stories from Coventry residents. Hear what human rights mean to the everyday people in the city.

From a Syrian refugee to a sex worker, a war veteran to a neurosurgeon, visitors are invited to walk a mile in the shoes of a stranger while listening to their story. The stories cover different aspects of life, from loss and grief, to hope and love, and take the visitor on an empathetic, as well as a physical, journey.

Visual Story – A Visual Story is available here

Visual stories are a visual resource for children and young adults with Autism, Aspergers, Sensory Processing Disorder and associated conditions. These resources are intended to help prepare any visitors for a new experience and to help them to become familiar with the surroundings and situation.
