Humane Education in Action: Students Speak Out Against Gang Violence

One of our friends and partners in pioneering comprehensive humane education is the organization HEART (Humane Education Advocates Reaching Teachers). They offer humane education programs in schools (and after-school programs), and do teacher training and consulting in the New York City, Chicago, and Indianapolis areas. We're proud that several of our M.Ed. graduates & students work for HEART, and our co-founder and president, Zoe Weil, is on their board.

HEART just released a new video showcasing their work with students at Westcott Elementary School in Chicago. Humane educator Mickey Kudia (who is an IHE M.Ed. student) helped facilitate a student-led project to educate others about gang violence:

This is another great example of the power of humane education to inspire young people with the passion and skills to create a better world for all.
