Lessons for Hope is a web-based project written by the Jane Goodall Institute and produced by the Center for Applied Technologies in Education at the University at Buffalo. High school students can learn about Dr. Jane Goodall's extraordinary life and explore the sources of her optimism and hope for the future. As part of this program, students learn about the ways that Dr. Goodall has sustained herself throughout her 40 years of researching chimpanzees as well as promoting care and concern for all living things. As students learn about Dr. Goodall's life story, they examine their own lives and their communities. The course activities are designed to give students an opportunity to apply these life lessons in order to empower them to make a positive contribution in the world.
