Humane Education
Help create a humane, sustainable, peaceful world for all people, animals and the planet. IHE trains people to be humane educators, advances the field of humane education, and provides tools and inspiration for living examined, meaningful lives.
…a generation with the passion and skills to solve the most pressing challenges of our time, successfully and joyfully.
… if each of us were prepared for our unique role in creating a better world from the time we were born.
…if making humane choices were part of every aspect of our lives.
IMAGINE the world we would create.
Humane education is the key to creating such a world.
Humane education not only instills the desire and capacity to live with compassion, integrity, and wisdom, but also provides the knowledge and tools to put our values into action in meaningful, far-reaching ways.
Humane education enables us to find solutions that work for all by approaching human rights, environmental preservation, and animal protection as interconnected and integral dimensions of a healthy, just society.
Humane education includes 4 elements:
• Providing accurate information about the issues of our time so that people have the information they need to understand the consequences of their decisions as citizens.
• Fostering curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking, so that people can evaluate information and solve problems.
• Instilling reverence, respect, and responsibility, so that people have the motivation to face challenges and to act with integrity
• Offering positive choices that benefit oneself, other people, the animals, and the Earth, so that people are empowered to create a more humane world.
Values of Curriculum for Excellence
Wisdom, justice, compassion and integrity are the words inscribed on the mace of the Scottish Parliament. These words have helped to define values for Scottish society.
The Curriculum Review Group says: ‘One of the prime purposes of education is to make our young people aware of the values on which Scottish society is based and so help them to establish their own stances on matters of social justice and personal and collective responsibility.

It was the third round and Bill Bixby’s nose looked like a bag of red marbles.
Eric Estrada had some right eye swellin’ though his wee stardust pouch and stunted welders arms were causing wetness among the aged.
Their opponents Sadam and Kendo despite being the underdogs were more or less unscathed, although they were looking a bit confused as Eric received wrapped tenners in his ringpiece from untoothed pension drawers.
“This is not wrestling!” I thought gone are the days of real men, flair, bravado and honour.
I had been watching this shite for over an hour and I longed for some action.
14 rich teas and 5 cups of Tetley just wasn’t jumping 6 cunts on my BMX, landing back wheel down on the last victims belly, them being Bobby Davro.
Kendo was ribbing the Estrada now, an eye gouge, a closeline, some Chinese burn action.
Chinese burn on the hairy arm is the sorest, sometimes ripping right from the root.
One time I cut a long white line on my haired leg with some antique clippers and Charlie did it on his arm. It was as sore as sore as the burn!
Just as Bill was trying to take Kendo from behind Sadam had clambered onto the ropes and was now flying through the cosmos to administer a deadly scissors kick to Bill’s oversized coupon.
His steel framed glasses blew off and twirled out of control to the canvas.
Bixby was like a flawed spinning top, a pond skater on valis.
Twinkle toe little Bill, weeble wobble, stickies tweetin’.
Bixby was down, Estrada was flustered, domination was imminent!
There’s nae Hulk now wee Bill. Wee Bixby as you lie there, gravy flowin’.
This was your last chance, your careers went tits up. You as many of your peers are even to shite for ‘straight to video’.
I feel sorry for you. Your sad piano lament, tortured sole, shirt and trouser destroyer, Sadam now wringing your wee neck the cradles your oversized head wi’ puppy dog eyes.
Your Sadam’s wee pocket Stretch ‘Bixby’ Armstrong now!
