Change your students' lives: change the world!
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.
Sowing Seeds offers participants 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 hosted by the Detroit Zoological Society and sponsored by the Madeleine Berman Academy for Humane Education.
