Education

Animal welfare education (AWE) aims to create a positive attitude towards animals, people and the environment, creating a sense of compassion, justice and a respect for the value of life in learners. AWE explores the knowledge, skills, and understanding that shape our involvement in the lives of animals, and traces the effect we have on animals’ abilities to satisfy their own needs, along with the responsibility this places on us. AWE offers one of the best ways to address the mistreatment of animals by improving our understanding of how we can humanely and compassionately interact with them. These pages of Animal Mosaic provide educators at both the early years and the tertiary levels with the tools, resources and facts they need to integrate AWE into their work.
