Abstract

An increasing number of seminars on humane education and alternatives to dissection and animal experiments have been organised by InterNICHE and its Partners across the world. In combination with oral presentations and workshops, multimedia exhibitions with demonstrations of alternatives from across the disciplines comprise an essential part of the seminars. The multimedia exhibitions have also played a contributory role at other events. This paper details major events by region or country (Latin America, Europe, Africa, Middle East, India, China); by nature (type of outreach, degree of training); and by focus (faculty and discipline, participants). It situates each event within the context of local, national and international humane education initiatives and the growing movement for curricular change.
