Description:
The Institute for Humane Education (IHE)
envisions a world in which people live humanely,
sustainably, and peaceably. To create this
change, IHE trains people to be humane
educators, advances the field of humane
education, and provides tools and inspiration
for living an examined, meaningful life.
Our world faces a host of pervasive, dangerous,
and seemingly intractable problems. Many people
are working toward solutions. Some create
positive change through policy and politics,
others through business and technology, and
others through direct action and public
campaigns. Some work on behalf of other people,
some on behalf of nonhuman animals, and some on
behalf of the environment.
IHE believes that in order to build a peaceful,
sustainable, and humane world, we need everyone
to receive humane education. We need people:
-To know what is actually happening on our
planet, to other people, to other species, and
to the ecosystems that sustain us all.
-To experience reverence, respect, and a sense
of responsibility for others and for the natural
world.
-To know how to think critically and creatively
and to evaluate all information intelligently.
-To appreciate that their lives have the
capacity to make a difference through their
individual choices, their work, and their
activism.
-To have the passion and tools to successfully
solve problems.
IHE has been training humane educators and
promoting comprehensive humane education since
1996. IHE offers several options for people who
wish to become trained in humane education,
including a distance learning M.Ed. in Humane
Education (taught in affiliation with Cambridge
College), the Humane Education Certificate
Program (HECP), and weekend humane education and
humane living workshops. IHE has reached
thousands of students worldwide through
programs, presentations and publications.
