A black-and-white photograph shows a diverse group of people walking down a paved, cobblestone European street or pedestrian walkway lined with trees and buildings. Some individuals are talking and smiling, and a person in the background holds up a light-colored flag. A stylized, bright pink geometric butterfly graphic is overlaid on the right side of the image, contrasting with the monochrome scene.
Close-up photo with a red monochrome duotone filter showing a hand placing a small paper note labeled "EMPATHY" onto a worksheet during a group exercise, likely a values-mapping or workshop activity. The visible worksheet reads "mapping" with instructions about grouping similar values together, and a circular sticker labeled "Values" is visible in the bottom right. A pair of glasses rests on the table in the blurred background.
