Mission Statement
To support children to develop skills in critical thinking, ethical reasoning and respectful discussion by enabling community volunteers to deliver ethics classes in public schools.
Description
Primary Ethics classes for children run in hundreds of schools every week. Ethics lessons invite children to explore everyday ethical issues such as truth and lying, whether something is fair or unfair, cheating and friendship.
Our impartial volunteers present stories and questions which encourage children to consider what they would do in typical situations. The students develop skills that are essential in our complex, pressurised world - becoming ethical decision-makers who can think critically, give evidence-based reasons for their opinions and who are able to have attentive discussions and respectful disagreements with others.
