In this two-day workshop for teachers, participants will ‘explore, experience and express’ the universal values and life-skills essential for living in harmony with others and with the environment, and for building bridges across cultures and nations.
 
According to the organisers the methods taught in the workshop can be used and applied in everyday teaching and learning, thus the teachers will also benefit and their students too.
 
Teachers play important role in delivering value education and if they know the depth of same then they can do the justice on their aim. Hence, it is very important for them to know what value education is and this workshop can help them in many ways to opt it in their education system.
 
Sessions in this workshop are practical, creative and dynamic, developing skills such as concentration, self reflection, communication and decision making.

The concept of Ubuntu was roughly translated as ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ or ‘belonging to a global family’. Ubuntu teaches the aspects of self respect, to stay calm and to spread the peace in the society.
