On September 6, the Institute for Humane Education (IHE) will be offering its acclaimed course: A Better World, A Meaningful Life. This month-long, distance learning course is meant for everyone who wants to deeply assess their lives and values and explore how to create changes that add meaning to their own lives while making a difference in the world.

The responses IHE has gotten from people who’ve taken this course have been phenomenal. People have told us the course is truly life-transforming. One woman who for years has been routinely participating in distance learning courses said it was the best one she’d ever taken. People uncover their deepest concerns and meld them with their talents and find ways to chart new paths that are both fulfilling and helpful to themselves and others. They make friends and build networks of like-minded changemakers. They find support for their journey and answers to their questions and people eager to hear their ideas.

Participants complete five exercises each week and create a community of learners (who often become friends and colleagues) through an Online Commons where each day, issues and questions are raised, and compassionate, wise fellow classmates share their experiences and thoughts. It is an utterly uncommon commons in today’s world.

If you want to dive into humane education issues, deeply assess what’s important to you, chart a course for fulfilling your goals as an activist or educator or citizen, this course may be just right for you. And if you have friends or family members with whom you’d like to engage with such issues, this may be the opportunity to work towards common dreams.
