Holistic & Humane.

Zoe Weil emphasizes the significance of humane education in fostering a compassionate and sustainable world. She explores the concept’s definition, discusses the hurdles humane educators encounter, such as overwhelm, and shares some notable successes.

● Humane education is an approach that teaches compassion, empathy, and critical thinking to create a more compassionate and sustainable world.

● A holistic approach to education, which considers the interconnectedness of all issues, is more effective in creating positive change.

● Dealing with overwhelm is important in the face of complex global challenges, and focusing on one’s passions can help alleviate this feeling.

● Having hope in humanity is crucial for creating change, and individuals can contribute by taking small actions in their daily lives.

● Pathways to Education aims to change the narratives around individuals and communities, especially those affected by generational poverty.

● The Pathways program is based on four pillars: academic support, social support, financial support, and one-to-one mentoring.

● The program serves about 8,500 students across Canada, providing high-touch support and journeying with them throughout high school.

● Asking for help and seeking human connection are important for empowerment and making a difference. Owen calls on people to serve others and achieve personal greatness through compassion.
