The Ethics Education Initiative
The ethics education initiative and the activities of the Interfaith Council on Ethics Education for Children is an initiative initiatied by Arigatou International. The major activity besides organizing various meetings for the members of the Council and its Committee, is the development of the resource material for Ethics Education through Interfaith Learning that the Interfaith Council has singled out as a first priority.
The resource material "Learning to Live Together" is a set of tools for youth leaders and teachers around the world, employing a new interfaith learning process to empower children and young people to develop a strong sense of ethics.
Learning to Live Together is designed to help the young to better understand and respect people from other cultures and religions and nurture a sense of global community. The kit provides tools for educators to develop innovative and critical thinking in their students, to nurture non-violent behaviours and to empower children to become agents of social change.
Through workshops involving children and young people from different religious and cultural backgrounds wherever possible, the new ethics program seeks to help youth to empathize with others, encouraging greater individual and collective responsibility and fostering a spirit of reconciliation. It provides a vehicle for youth to encounter and examine values with their peers from different religious, cultural, and social backgrounds, and to apply what they learn to the real challenges of their daily lives. The resource manual has been field-tested in a variety of settings around the world.
