Humane education in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan
Our successful Ukraine project “Saving Animals with Computers” on tour through Central Asia
Eastern Europe
Saving animals with computers
In Eastern Europe, there is great potential for replacing animal experiments in higher education with animal-free teaching methods. Thus, animal lives can be saved with relatively simple means. Many teachers are open to modern computer-aided education. Mostly there is only a lack of information and financial resources. In cooperation with InterNICHE we provide help on both levels.

5 more departments in Ukraine switch to humane education
Five new contracts with teachers in Kharkiv, Melitopol, Simferopol and Ternopil will save annually more than 2000 frogs, rats, rabbits and guinea-pigs and 340 invertebrates.
Success in Ukraine
Six further institutes in L’viv, Luts’k, Simferopol, Kharkiv, Melitipol and Poltava turn to humane education. Every year 5,300 animals will not be cruelly killed anymore.

During another trip to Ukraine in March 2010, six new contracts were signed with the heads of academic institutes.
Film on humane education
"Humane Education in countries of the former Soviet Union" – New video film shows the positive changes in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
3,600 animals at 4 universities saved
Another visit to Ukraine in September/October 2009 resulted in a great success! Seven departments of four universities in Simferopol, Dnipropetrovsk and Odessa received animal-friendly teaching tools, saving more than 3,600 animals per year.
Promoting humane teaching methods
Information stalls at scientific congresses are useful to raise the interest of university teachers for humane teaching methods. And our media work helps promoting the issue in the Ukrainian public.
