Institute for Humane Education (for the next wave of educators)
Institute for Humane Education is a worldwide organisation, that runs courses to teach educators on how to teach children how to be compassionate to the world -to other humans, other creatures and to the planet. Founded by teacher Zoe Weil, although most courses are in North America, the site has many online courses that teachers and other educators can take like:
- Environmental Ethics
- Animal Protection
- Human Rights
- Art and Artists for Social Change
- Writing for Social Change
- Racial Justice
Others take these courses for different reasons. For instance, one woman who runs a large animal rescue non-profit in the USA, took a course so she can better educate givers, and increase donations.
Others who work with troubled youth take the course (say for people having issues with the law, or those suffering after-affects of abuse).
Graduates also take these courses, as part of their curriculum for doing a particular thesis.
And of course the courses would be good for councillors and politicians (who businesses) who wanted better to understand and communicate their good ethics to voters or customers.
Back in the UK, the Global Certificate of Humane Education includes teachings on conservation and animal welfare, non-violent communication and conflict resolution and trauma-informed care.
The course (offered by London School of International Business) takes 2 months, and costs around £90.
