WE ARE AND WHAT WE OFFER?
Seeds for Change
Humane Education is a
project of Doctors for Kindness to
Animals, a nonprofit public benefit and tax-exempt organization. We offer a free series of captivating, educational presentations
as well as resources on animal, environmental and cultural issues for grades six
through college and adult audiences in San Diego County and surrounding
areas.

the team that makes it all happen!
Seeds
for Change
Humane Education seeks to
undermine all forms of exploitation and oppression by inviting individuals
to explore their most deeply held beliefs about themselves, other
cultures, other
species and the planet. We provide life-affirming, sustainable and
practical lifestyle choices that help students put their principles into
action.
In a non-judgmental
and positive atmosphere,
our dynamic, thought-provoking
presentations encourage student participation and critical thinking by
combining lively discussions with short videos, visual aids, and
activities.
Discussions are also designed to encourage active
participation and leadership in the County of San Diego by providing
volunteer opportunities with community organizations. |

"Humane education offers real hope for the new century. Teaching
reverence for the Earth, kindness, compassion, and rejection of cruelty,
exploitations and oppression in their many manifestations, it can help
rebuild a biophilic (life-loving and life-affirming) ethic in future
generations."

Selby
Director of International Institute for
Global Education and Author of Earthkind |
| Programs are flexible in
length and format to meet the interests of the audience, and can be

"Humane education is preventative medicine to a world out of
balance. It challenges all the social ills we face, from the
exploitation of other species and the planet itself, to poverty and war,
to prejudice and greed. The seeds we sow…are the seeds of peace,
kindness, sustainability, respect and compassion, and from them a more
humane world will spring."
Zoe Weil and Rae
Sikora
Co-founders
of the International Institute for Humane Education |
| All programs are modified
