The study of human-animal relations offers a clear and adaptable lens through which to address one of the most important elements of the New Zealand curriculum: the development of the values and attitudes that form young people into responsible and compassionate citizens.

The multidisciplinary nature of animal studies means that it has applications in many of the subject areas important to New Zealand secondary students.

Teachers and students using the Animals & Us education materials, or those simply interested in learning more about animal issues, are invited to take advantage of SAFE's virtual speakers.
