Manual on Ethics Education through Interfaith Learning

The Interfaith Council is developing a Manual on Ethics Education through Interfaith Learning.

The manual can be used in different contexts and cultural settings. As people of different religious, spiritual and cultural traditions have been involved in the shaping of the Toolkit, it is the intention that the resource is accessible to everyone concerned about promoting ethics and values in both the religious and secular spheres of society. The objective is to develop a Manual that is clear and relevant and yet open and flexible to be interpreted and used in different cultural and social contexts.

Thanks to the ongoing activities of the GNRC interfaith network, the Manual has been tested in different regions and cultural contexts, which has contributed important learning and experiences. See the news and newsletter to learn more about the development of the Toolkit and the test workshops.

The Manual consists of four chapters, the first one focusing on the framework and the understanding, the second one outlining the learning itself in two suggested learning modules accompanied by suggestions of methodologies and activities. The third chapter contains a compilation of resources and references to useful resource material in the area of peace education and human rights education and the forth chapter records the lessons learned so far when using the Toolkit. 

The Second draft of the Toolkit can be accessed online on our Campus. Please contact the Interfaith Council Secretariat at info@ethicseducationforchildren.org to get a password and further instructions how to work with the Manual.  The Second Draft of the Toolkit is currently reviewed and edited. A third and final version is about to be completed and will be launched at the GNRC Third Forum in Hiroshima in May 2008.
