Offerings from Institute for Humane Education

Back to school can be inspiring for adults, too.  If you're in the mood for a course, consider these offerings from the Institute for Humane Education: 

"Raising a Humane Child" is a six-week online course for parents offered by the Institute for Humane Education (right here in Maine!) that offers tools and resources to help raise children to become conscientious, compassionate citizens of the world. Classes start Sept. 12 and Nov 7.

“A Better World, A Meaningful Life” is a transformative monthly online course for concerned global citizens offered by the Institute for Humane Education (right here in Maine!). It provides participants with tools for action and change-making and teaches about the interconnection between human rights, environmental sustainability and animal protection in creating a better world. Classes start Sept. 2, Oct. 3, and Nov. 4. For info: http://humaneeducation.org/sections/view/better_world_meaningful_life

Check out the Free Resources for parents, activists and concerned citizens at the Institute for Humane Education's online Resource Center.

Favorite Books

Lea suggested a blog-book group discussion -- (although I'd also LOVE an in-person book group too)... Use the comments to share recommendations and insights from your favorite books!

Boys to Men Conference

Boys to Men is a wonderful group that advocates a feminist approach to raising boys and thinking about the stress that conventional masculinity puts on boys. They are offering their annual conference on May 25th -- registration closes on May 17th. The workshops look interesting and useful to all parents and teachers, I think... http://boysconference.org/
