An environment where everybody could express their uniqueness was the key. Humane Education is a breakthrough program created to help students and individuals experience their unique potential. This program enables students to become self aware which in turn helps them to draw from their innate wisdom, knowledge and experience. As students bring out their innate creativity in observing, interacting, learning, innovating, inventing and sharing as an experience they are able to experience direction in their lives and develop confidence to rely on their own selves. Not only does this give visibility to uniqueness of each individual it also empowers them to identify the same in others and work with them in synergy. This brings out collective compassion, creativity, innovativeness, civility and much more in groups. This program when experienced by teachers not only helps them experience their own possibilities but also enables them to connect to students and become facilitators in a students growth and development.

Humane Education in a school:

Humane Education was implemented in a school - Vidya Niketan Public School (VNPS). VNPS is known for its innovation in bringing about best practices in teaching, learning and upkeeping the people culture. Towards bringing out the best potential from their teachers, VNPS opted for Humane Science and approached Aashwasan to conduct the program for a group of 16 teachers chosen by the management. Aashwasan offered a comprehensive program of Humane Science which was conducted for over 50 hours.

Experiences of Teachers:

#1: I had taken a two year sabbatical from my professional life, and during these two years my self confidence had plummeted. I was not very confident about myself or about what I was doing. In the self awareness workshop, I realized my real potential. I came to know what I am. The qualities I had. While attending the workshops, I came to know that I had a lot of patience in me. Patience is something that I have, I knew I had. But I had forgotten completely about it. The workshop helped me realize my true potential, taught me to be more confident about myself. It made me a person that I am today. These one and a half years has been a very beautiful journey

#2:  We all went through a very beautiful journey. All the group members will agree that we have gone through a very beautiful process. All of us have changed in someway or the other. If somebody asks us what we have gone through here, we have no answers. What we have learnt, what we have experienced is that our joy is within. When we change and we have observed the change within us we come to know that we have learnt something.
