The HSI is established in schools by means of an HSI Committee with representatives from the different school departments and the students body. The HSI looks to work with all the school departments to implement school wide initiatives to:
1- Fight all forms of violence, hate, bullying, and discrimination so that we may have SAFER schools.
2- Act in an environmentally and sustainably manner so t
hat we reduce our carbon footprint, and to consume in an ethical and sustainable way to have GREENER and more SUSTAINABLE schools.
3- Treat all sentient beings, including the animals with compassion and kindness so that we can have more HUMANE schools. Our way to do this is through HUMANE EDUCATION, consisting according The Institute of Humane Education (www.humaneeducation.org) in:
1- “ 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.
2- Fostering curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking, so that people can evaluate information and solve problems.
3- 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, and tools for problem solving so that people are empowered to create a more humane world.”
HUMANE EDUCATION, which “may well be the most revolutionary and effective effort that we as a society can undertake to create a peaceful and just world. “ (IHE)
