Roots &
Shoots Seminar
with Dr. Jane Goodall
This is
a special seminar for students and
teachers who want to learn more about
the
Roots & Shoots programme for international schools in cooperation with
the Jane Goodall Institute.
What is Roots & Shoots?
Roots & Shoots is the environmental and humanitarian programme for
youth (preschool to university) of The Jane Goodall Institute (JGI).
Their mission is: 1) To foster respect and compassion for all living
things; 2) To promote understanding of all cultures and beliefs;
and 3) To inspire each individual to take action to make the world a
better place for animals, the environment and the human community.
History of the Roots & Shoots
Programme
The Jane Goodall Institute believes that the future is in the hands
of the world's young people. With this in mind, Roots & Shoots was
founded in 1991 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, East Africa. In only a
few years, the programme has grown dramatically. Roots & Shoots
groups are now found in over 38 U.S. states and more than 30 other
countries.
Goals of Roots & Shoots
- To implement positive change through learning about, caring for and
interacting with the environment.
- To demonstrate care and concern for all non-human animals.
- To encourage youth to plan and take action to help others in their
community.
- To enhance understanding between individuals of different cultures,
ethnic groups, religions, socio-economic levels and nations through our
global communication network.
- To help young people develop self-respect, confidence in themselves
and HOPE for the future.
 Roots creep
underground everywhere and make a firm foundation.
Shoots seem very
weak, but to reach the light they can break open brick walls.
Imagine that the
brick walls are all the problems we have inflicted on our planet.
Hundreds and
thousands of roots and shoots, hundreds and thousands of young people
around the world, can break through these walls.
You CAN change the
world.
Jane Goodall
