This month, join Shawn Sweeney, recently certified humane educator through the Institute for Humane Education, for an inspirational seminar on the power and promise of humane education. As a field of study, humane education seeks to grow a community of people dedicated to creating a better world through addressing some of the most pressing issues of our time, especially those related to environmental preservation, animal protection and human rights. Through the use of special skills and techniques for approaching these issues, individuals, families, organizations and entire cities are creating change. Through humane education, these people learn how to live their lives according to their values, work to show compassion to all beings and engage everyone they know creating a better world.

Join Shawn on September 29 at 6 p.m. to learn more about humane education, and how it can play a role in changing your life, and the lives of others. Hosted at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Danbury, 24 Clapboard Ridge Road, Danbury. This seminar is offered free of charge and is open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
