Help create a humane, sustainable peaceful world for all people, animals and the planet! IHE trains people to be humane educators, advances the field of humane education, and provides tools and inspiration for living examined, meaningful lives.
Humane education is an approach to teaching, learning and living that not only instills the desire and capacity to live with compassion, integrity, and wisdom, but also provides the knowledge and tools to put our values into action in meaningful, far-reaching ways. Humane education enables us to find solutions that work for all by approaching human rights, environmental preservation, and animal protection as interconnected and integral dimensions of a healthy, just society.
