Objectives

This symposium will focus specifically on the practice and practicalities of teaching Values Education in schools. There is widespread agreement that one of the main aims of basic education should be to equip children in schools with values and attitudes that will enrich their own lives, and enable them, as thoughtful and sensitive citizens, to contribute to the maintenance of society. The main problem with values education is therefore not its justification, but rather how to teach it in the classroom.

This symposium, jointly sponsored by the Hong Kong Institute of Education and Living Values Educational Programme, will attempt to draw together examples of best practice in Values Education from across the Asia Pacific region. Keynote speakers, from around the region and from UNESCO, will help to set the context and inspire discussion. Workshop sessions will provide opportunities to engage with practical teaching approaches that can be used in the classroom.
