The Sowing Seeds Humane Education Workshop is an exciting,
interactive workshop and will teach you how to offer empowering,
effective, and transformative humane education programs and to
communicate about important global issues in a positive and inspiring
manner. Sowing Seeds is designed for educators, activists and
advocates of social justice, environmental preservation, animal
protection, and all those wishing to work for positive social change.
Humane education examines the challenges facing our planet, from human
oppression and animal exploitation to materialism and ecological
degradation. Workshop Facilitator:

Kim Korona joined The Institute for Humane Education as a Workshop
Facilitator shortly after she graduated from the M.Ed. program in 2006. 
After interning at Farm Sanctuary, her final project focused on Confined 
Animal Feeding Operations. Kim earned a B.A. at Goddard College in Vermont, 
where she studied social change and food politics. Kim currently works as a 
humane educator for the Michigan Humane Society, teaching students about the 
needs of both people and animals, and challenging students to consider the 
motivations behind violence and the means for creating a more peaceful 
society.
