The logo of the International Academy for Human Sciences and Culture depicts the earth globe held aloft within an all-encompassing and protecting heart, which, through the vision and hope of a child, is hoisted into the skies. It symbolises the reality of the world, one in body and spirit. The meridians represent a connective net of relationship which embraces the globe.
The vision of the Academy is that this reality be raised in the interest of the children of the world, that they may live, learn and develop in a secure environment of peace. The aspiration is to promote the ability to think with love and to love with intelligence, to relate to others sincerely, and to contribute to a society that is just and humane.
