The Ethics Education Fellowship concluded its first phase marked by an international event – the Convening of Champions meeting held in April 2024 in Abu Dhabi. The event gathered senior representatives from Ministries of Education, UNESCO offices, partner organizations, religious leaders and international experts. During the event, international participants and Ethics Education fellows reflected on the ways that the Programme has been meaningful to bringing transformative changes to teachers, learners, and formal education institutions. These efforts have significantly contributed to strengthening global citizenship and building more inclusive, peaceful societies.
This vibrant event served as a hub for discussing the critical importance of prioritizing and investing in Ethics Education. Children’s heartfelt testimonials illuminated the room, while participating countries made promising commitments to continue their support. It was a celebration of a pivotal milestone, closing the first phase and paving the way for the second.
