Kurzbeschreibung: All human beings experience a call to morality. It is deeply embedded in cultural and religious traditions, drawing human beings into relationship with each other, and with nature and the world. How can we best cultivate morality and what role does formal education have to play? To what extent does morality develop naturally, even genetically? Or is it socially constructed, and best left to families and other agents of socialisation to cultivate? If education does have a role in cultivating morality, what form should it take in the globalising world of the 21st Century with its many old and new ethical challenges, including the rapidly increasing population and demands of human beings that are running up against the limitations of nature and the world to sustain? What should the goals, function and experiences of contemporary moral education be? Participants of the International Conference on Moral Education are invited to explore these topics, and the important issues they raise for moral cultivation and moral development.
