The Soka Educators' International Network is an effort for Soka educators to encourage one another, discuss how to implement Soka Education principles more deeply, begin dialogues with parents, teachers and students on the benefits of humanistic education, and ultimately to support Daisaku Ikeda's great effort to create a rebirth of humanistic education.
Dr. Ikeda long ago expressed the need to have an international conference on humanistic education. Again in August 2002, in his proposal to the WSSD in Johannesburg, he suggested having such a conference in the future. We hope this online forum is a step towards such a conference.
Through our international exchange we believe we can help the world redefine the purpuse of education and move towards the value-creating definition of Soka Education -- the happiness of the individual. This pursuit of happiness will help the world regain its balance. We hope with this network that we can create a safety net around the world with Soka Educators located in different countries.
If you know of a Soka educator in another country please forward this site to her or him so we can continue to build that net.
