Sowing Seeds humane education workshop in Berkeley 12/1-2

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

We are fortunate that the Institute for Humane Education, based in Maine, is

putting on one of its weekend-long Sowing Seeds Workshops in Berkeley next

weekend. I encourage everyone on this list, regardless of your level of

experience with or even interest in activism, regardless of your job, to take

this workshop. (See below.) The workshop is geared toward teachers or potential

teachers who are interested in bringing humane education into classrooms. I did

the Sowing Seeds workshop 5 years ago or so, and I feel like it made a huge

difference for me not just in leading me to teach humane education (through The

Empathy Project wwww.empathyproject.org) but also in my approach to activism

overall, as well as my approach to other people who don't share my views.

 

Anyway, I could go on and on, but I'll just say I strongly recommend it. See

into below!

 

 

Learn exciting, new approaches for teaching about:

 

Human rights - Environmental preservation - Animal protection - Media and

Humane education addresses the pressing issues of our time and promotes

positive choices on behalf of people, animals, and the Earth. It teaches

critical and creative thinking, nurtures the three Rs of reverence,

respect and responsibility, and is one of the most important ways to help

build a sustainable and just society.

 

Participants at Sowing Seeds workshop learn how to:

 

* Present accurate information and teach critical thinking about

relevant issues of our time

* Teach about consumerism and media, environmental preservation, social

justice, animal protection and the connection between these issues

* Improve their communication skills

* Develop a series of presentations and activities for schools, camps,

or community groups
