WHAT IS COMPASSIONATE CITIZEN

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its
animals are treated.”

– Mahatma Gandhi

Compassionate Citizen is an award-winning humane education programme which is
designed to help students aged 8 to 12 better understand and appreciate animals.

Most children naturally feel concern and affection for animals but learn cruelty
from society and often lose sight of their inherent compassion. Of course, a
lack of respect for other species can translate into insensitivity and cruelty
towards humans, too. It’s now well documented by sociologists, psychologists,
and law-enforcement agencies that childhood violence against animals is often an
early warning sign of future acts of violence towards humans. Children often
face issues such as violence and bullying, so it’s important to teach students
the value of compassion and empathy when interacting with each other and with
animals.

The programme can be easily included in schools’ curricula via language arts,
science, social studies, environmental science, and value education. It’s also
perfect for use by integrity, eco, and animal rights clubs in schools. Although
it’s designed to be included in the monthly curriculum, it can be used for a
shorter period of time, including in a one-day workshop.

The Compassionate Citizen curriculum kit is free to all teachers – and the
lessons in it are invaluable. Using fun analogies, easy-to-understand values,
cute and inspiring animal videos, and true stories of animals who overcame
adversity, Compassionate Citizen teaches students how similar we are to all the
animals, large and small, with whom we share the world. This all-inclusive pack
has everything a teacher needs to implement lessons on empathy, kindness, and
compassion in an accessible and fun way.




WHAT'S IN THE KIT?



The kit is a one-stop interdisciplinary curriculum that includes amazing facts,
easy-to-understand analogies that help students take the point of view of
someone else, a 23-minute video featuring inspiring animal stories, and
age-appropriate information on the Golden Rule and ways kids can save animals!
It touches on stopping bullying, helping the environment, saving wild animals,
taking good care of companion animals, and much more. The material is currently
available in English and Hindi but could be translated into other languages if
there’s enough demand.
