The toolkit, which is the first outcome of the worldwide Ethics Education Initiative launched by the Arigatou Foundation and GNRC in 2008, approaches the issue of Ethics Education from the perspective of Intercultural and Interfaith learning, human rights and quality education, where ethics and values are nurtured and where youth and children are given the space to develop their innate potential for spirituality, to understand and respect people from other cultures and religions.
During the recent training in Tanzania, activities undertaken included preparation of lesson plans, presentations and exercising on how to use the manual and most importantly — how to put into practise the lessons learned.
The Swahili version of the resourceful manual will be launched during the upcoming GNRC Fourth Forum.
