WHY WE CHOOSE NOT TO RIDE ELEPHANTS, GO TO ZOOS, OR SWIM WITH DOLPHINS:
As parents and educators, how can we collectively start the discussion with youth about animal equality and the impact that our choices can have? In this session, Abby Power will talk about how we can use humane education tools to introduce topics such as speciesism, systems thinking, cognitive dissonance, and critical thinking in order to engage our children to find solutions and make systematic change. As educators or parents, let’s give children the tools to be the next generation of changemakers.

Humane Education Coalition Launches Fee-Free Virtual Speaker Series, the Humane SummitSAN ANTONIO, TX - The Humane Education Coalition is delighted to announce the launch of their new virtual speaker series, the Humane Summit. This three-day event brings together education professionals from around the world to learn, share, and connect about humane education. The Summit is held entirely online from February 5-7, 2019 and features unique speaker sessions and live panel discussions from more than 45 education experts. 

"The Coalition is honored to provide a platform for so many brilliant, committed educators to share their knowledge and insights with a global community of participants," said Megan Moon, HEC President and producer of the Humane Summit. "We are confident this event will further our collective efforts to create a more compassionate, just, and sustainable world." ​

​​Participants will learn new strategies and tools for introducing, incorporating, and enhancing education programs, and they'll discover opportunities for building cross-cultural connections and solving challenges. Speaker sessions will cover a wide range of topics, including social-emotional learning, animal protection issues, environmental ethics, social justice, and social work education. As an added benefit, all sessions and recorded panel discussions will be saved in the Summit for participants to view at their convenience. There are also special opportunities for participants, including the option to earn a certificate of completion from the University of Denver's Institute for Human-Animal Connection, entering to win an online course from the Academy of Prosocial Learning, and entering to win a box of humane-themed children's picture books from The Gryphon Press.
