Sowing Seeds Humane Ed Workshop - Detroit, Michigan
November 7, 2009 - 8:30 am to November 7, 2009 - 5:00 pm
Event Type: Workshops
Help create a more humane world: Change the world and the lives of others through humane education!
Our Sowing Seeds Workshop is designed to train educators to effectively teach others to think critically and creatively about social justice, environmental ethics, and animal protection, and how to broaden your students' understanding of the ways in which their choices affect themselves, other people, other species, and the Earth. The workshop offers dynamic activities and practical tips, demonstrations of the effectiveness of humane education, and an opportunity for group participation. Sowing Seeds is recommended for educators of all types, from classroom teachers to community educators and concerned citizens.
This Sowing Seeds workshop is sponsored and hosted by the Detroit Zoological Society and made possible with support from the Madeleine Berman Academy for Humane Education.
