Zoe Weil, the visionary co-founder and president of the Institute for Humane Education (IHE), is this week's featured expert on the #NHAHealthSciencePodcast!    Zoe shared with host, Dr. Frank Sabatino, incredible insights into the transformative realm of humane education and the remarkable Solutionary Micro-Credential Program.   Zoe's journey is nothing short of inspirational. From her early passion for animals to the founding of IHE in 1989, she has dedicated her life to reshaping education and nurturing a generation of solutionaries.   The Solutionary Micro-Credential Program, a brainchild of IHE, empowers educators globally, enabling them to seamlessly integrate humane education into their classrooms. This innovative four-phase framework — identify, investigate, innovate, and implement — equips students to address real-world challenges.   Navigating challenges within traditional educational paradigms, Zoe's approach involves integrating the solutionary framework into existing curricula. This ensures that students not only understand academic material but also engage with it in a way that aligns with their concerns and passions, fostering creativity and individuality.   Join us in this episode as Zoe discusses reshaping educational paradigms, fostering a new generation of solutionaries, and the profound impact of personal connections on global issues.  www.HealthScience.org/061-Zoe-Weil  

In this episode of the Vegan Visibility Podcast, I am talking with Zoe Weil, co-founder and president of the Institute for Humane Education (IHE).  In this enlightening conversation, we delve deep into the transformative power of humane education and solutionary thinking.   One central theme we explored was the incredible evolution of humane education since the late '80s. Zoe's journey began with a simple summer job teaching middle school students about animal issues, which turned out to be a pivotal moment in her life. It was during this experience that she witnessed the profound impact of education on young minds.   One standout student, in particular, learned about the harsh realities of animal testing and, driven by sheer determination, handwrote leaflets to raise awareness. Instead of distributing them to classmates, he took them to the streets of Philadelphia, becoming an overnight activist. This moment marked the beginning of Zoe's realization of the profound capacity of education to inspire action and create change.   This epiphany led Zoe to become a humane educator, dedicated to teaching about the interconnected issues of human rights, animal protection, and environmental sustainability. Through her journey, she founded the Institute for Humane Education, where they empower others to become humane educators and integrate humane education into school curricula.   Today, Zoe's programs and initiatives reach students worldwide, empowering them to be solutionaries who can address the most pressing global challenges. It's a journey brimming with hope and determination, recognizing the potential of young people to drive meaningful change in the world.   In our podcast episode, we discuss the progress and challenges in animal welfare since the '80s, the pivotal role of education in shaping a brighter future, and how individuals can contribute to creating more compassionate and sustainable systems.   I wholeheartedly invite you to embark on this enlightening journey of discovery and action.

Dr. Lynda talks with AJ Crabill about getting where we want to be by resisting the urge to focus on the strategies most familiar to us, and instead identifying the outcome we want and finding the most effective strategy from there. Through his work improving student outcomes by keeping “collectivism” in the center of the table, AJ has found some secrets that we can all use to come together in all kinds of boardrooms—schools, businesses, and communities—and even around the kitchen table.

We welcome back Zoe Weil, president and co-founder of the Institute for Humane Education, to speak about her recent Psychology Today column on the purpose of education. Although the official goal of many school systems is to prepare students for global competition, compassion, cooperation, and creativity are the qualities we should be emphasizing. A generation of solutionaries has a much better chance of creating a sustainable planet where humans and animals other than humans can thrive.

Zoe Weil (pronounced “Zoh While”) is the co-founder and president of the Institute for Humane Education (IHE), and is considered a pioneer in the comprehensive humane education movement. Zoe created IHE's M.Ed., M.A. and graduate certificate programs, as well as IHE's acclaimed humane education and MOGO (most good) workshops. Zoe is the author of seven books including Amazon #1 Best Seller in Philosophy and Social Aspects of Education, The World Becomes What We Teach: Educating a Generation of Solutionaries (2021/2016) She has also written numerous articles on humane education and humane living and has appeared frequently on radio as well as television.Zoe writes for Psychology Today where you can read her blog Becoming a Solutionary.

Many people feel desperate about the state of the world today. It's no wonder because the number of negative news we hear is endless – biodiversity loss, resource depletion, increasing inequality, wars, and so on. The more informed we are, the more helpless we feel, thinking, “How can I make a difference?” It turns out that all of us can make a difference if we take a solutionary approach to our work. No matter what you do - a biologist, a teacher, a gardener - you can tackle big issues and change your field so it is more just, humane and sustainable. In this episode, Zoe Weil, the co-founder of the Institute for Humane Education, explains: Why it's important to cultivate the culture of service in our communities What can local organizations do to involve young people Why it's more important to change the system rather than individuals within it How you can solve pressing global issues locally How you can find a meaningful career by answering only three questions What a solutionary is and how you can become one yourself Links: Institute for Humane Education The Solutionary Guidebook How to be a Solutionary: A Guide for People Who Want to Make a Positive Difference Zoe Weil is the co-founder and president of the Institute for Humane Education and author of seven books and multiple TEDx talks. Zoe speaks at universities, conferences, and schools globally about how our education should go far beyond just having good grades and a diploma. She's convinced that in today's world with so many pressing global problems, we should give people the knowledge, tools and motivation to become change-makers for a healthy and humane world for all.

The biggest challenge for educators is that we need to acknowledge multiple ways of learning, and we need to lean into a new way of teaching that focuses on high level thinking and strategic thinking. That is Zoe and Steve's mission. In today's episode, we have Zoe Weil and Steve Cochrane of the Institute of Humane Education to show us how they are helping students find joy and purpose. They look at problems in a different way—by being “solutionaries” that identify unjust and unsustainable systems. They will talk about how school curricula should not be boxed in facts and memorization, but also should provide experiences that allow children to develop their unique selves. With that, let's jump right in and see how to educate the humane way!

They look for leverage points to create systemic change, which often means looking at all the potential unintended negative consequences of proposed solutions.” - Zoe Weil "When you question your comment about choices, sometimes the choices our students feel in school are limited. They're limited to what College should I go to, what job, what career should I go into? And joy is about expanding those choices." - Steve Cochrane

Zoe defines “solutionary” and explains how this methodology can change the world in big - impactful - sustainable ways. She talks about humane education, her method of advocacy, and how education is one system that affects all the others. We also dig into meaty questions about vegan misanthropy, balance, how we sometimes, in our passion to do good, cause harm, different modes of advocacy, and why we should care about injustices toward human animals and the environment.

We offer the vegan community a pathway for integrating all of the issues of social justice and environmentalism, with their passion for veganism and animal rights. And what we're offering the education community is the opportunity to bring these important ethical issues into their classroom in ways that don't have to be polarized, that don't have to be controversial, but can actually be oriented toward how we solve these underlying problems that we face in the world. Our goal is to educate people to be solutionary. That is people who can address unjust and unsustainable and inhumane systems and devise and implement solutions that are good for everybody, meaning all people, animals, and the environment.

“In order to align your life choices with your values, you will need to inquire about the effects of your actions (and inactions) on yourself and others. Although we are always stumbling upon new knowledge that shifts our choices and life direction, bringing conscious inquiry to life means that we continually ask questions that lead us to the information we need to make thoughtful decisions. Asking questions is liberating because we develop great understanding and discover more choices with our new knowledge.” -Zoe Weil, Most Good, Least Harm: A Simple Principle for a Better World and Meaningful LifeInformed decision making process in the healthcare system is marred by the hesitation of asking questions from the authority ie the healthcare provider. It is backed by the common belief that the healthcare system decided the care that needs to be provided and your role in your ensuring your health is minimal.We look at how this process can be balanced.We discuss if who really is the actual authority in deciding the treatment you receive.What aids are present to support your right to informed decision makingWe discuss two out of the seventeen rights from the Indian Charter of Patient's Rights adopted by NHRC that give you the power to informed care.

To all people that are looking for a sustainable path forward Victor Valle's documentary 8 BILLION ANGELS focuses on how and why humanity's demand for resources vastly are outpacing nature's ability to supply them.  Food, water, climate and extinction emergencies are unfolding before our eyes. 8 BILLION ANGELS tells the truth about the conflict between the size of our global population and the sustainability of our planet.  It dispels the misperceptions that technology can save us, that reducing consumption is the only answer, and that the blame lies solely in the developing world. 8 BILLION ANGELS enlists a wide array of experts that include; Jason Hall-Spencer, Dr, Saroj Pachauri, David Montgomery, Bill Stowe, Dr. Shashi Tharoor, Stuart Pimm, William Ryerson, Zoe Weil and Brownie Wilson to lay out how the world can achieve a sustainable balance for ourselves and earth. Using breathtaking cinematography and startling emotion, the film takes the viewer on an immersive and emotional journey into the lives of farmers, fisherman and others as they witness an unfolding global crisis and inspires real solutions toward lasting sustainability and a better quality of life for all Earth's inhabitants. In 8 BILLION ANGELS Executive Producer and Executive Director of Earth Overshoot Terry Spahr joins us for a conversation on how and why facing the questions around the ever-expanding population of people is a vital and indispensable part of any plan to save humans from cataclysmic event.

Zoe writes the Becoming a Solutionary blog at Psychology today. She has made numerous TV & radio appearances and has given six TED talks, including “Extending our Circle of Compassion.” In these Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what’s real?” & “what matters?” Sentientism is "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The audio is also here on YouTube - with full show notes. We discuss: - Humane Education: Human rights, animal protection, environmental sustainability - Growing up non-religious in New York but with Jewish heritage - Having the label "Jew" but not knowing what it meant - Taking courses on Orthodox Judaism at NYU. Finding the questioning & debate fascinating, but the "proofs of god didn't seem like proofs" - Taking a sense that "what you do mattered more than what you believe" - Semester at Sea, staying on an ashram, visiting Israel & Japan. Exploring religion & meaning making - Choosing to study religion rather than a scientific veterinary track - Doing a Masters in Theological studies at Harvard Divinity School, focusing on what religions taught about animals & environment - "I still don't believe in god - the way god is described in most religions" - "The mystery of the universe is awe-inspiring". Calling it "god" feels like it's narrowing something huge into something small - Is religion restricting wonder rather than revelling in it? - Does religion constrain the concept of god as the "universe" into something that looks remarkably like a human male? - Awe and wonder and connection within a naturalistic worldview - Unitarian universalism & the power of numinous, communal experience - And much more...
