Nov. 10-11 was the Institute for Humane Education’s Keene, New Hampshire Sowing Seeds Workshop. It is always refreshing to be with a group of people who are dedicated to improving the world and willing to improve themselves to make it happen. The participants at this workshop were no exception.

Humane Education Resources

Many of them wanted to know about additional Humane Education resources. We created a huge list at the workshop of humane education resources, but they still wanted more. Here they are.

First, I can’t stress enough how many great resources can be found at the Institute for Humane Education’s Web site, HumaneEducation.org. The site contains:

  • fantastic lesson plans and activities you can use to teach these issues
  • hundreds of links to the various organizations working on animal, environmental, cultural, human rights, peace and humane education issues
  • a variety of excellent books on humane issues that are avilable for purchase
  • job listings for people seeking employment in the field of humane education
  • and much more, so check it out!

I also have my modest resource list of humane education organizations which you can network with and model your promotional materials after, as well as groups that offer lesson plans which you can peruse.

One of my favorite pupils
