The Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute is committed to education.
Teaching our fellow humans respect, responsibility and compassion for
our fellow apes through education is one of our primary goals.
We hope that all who come into contact with CHCI, especially
youth, will come to realize that human exploitation
must be replaced with human compassion, that responsible citizenship
involves treating our fellow organic beings with humility and respect,
and that the essence of a productive life is one that seeks to protect
the Earth so that all organic beings can live their lives naturally
and free from objectification and exploitation.
The Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute serves as an educational,
scientific resource for Central Washington University, the local
community, the region, K-12 students, and the public. (CHCI
Mission Statement)
We now have American Sign Language sample
sheets of a few of the signs commonly used at CHCI. You
may print these pages to help prepare your group for their scheduled
Chimposium. We also have chimpanzee
facial expressions available for you to print.
The development
of the "Next of Kin, A Compassionate, Interdisciplinary Science
Curriculum" is part of an ongoing outreach program designed to
help K-12 students understand the importance of conservation and compassion
toward chimpanzees and all living creatures.
In this section, we provide resources for teachers and students to
help them learn more about the curriculum, chimpanzees, and helping
our fellow animals.
