UNESCO Ethics Teacher Training Course in Egerton, Kenya

One of the activities undertaken to disseminate information concerning the recently adopted Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights is the Ethics Education Program. This program is mapping existing teaching programs in the area of ethics in the Member States of UNESCO. The various programs are described, discussed in expert meetings, and made available in the Global Ethics Observatory (www.unesco.org/shs/ethics/geobs). Experiences concerning the contents, intensity, methods and materials of existing programs are therefore publicly accessible and can be exchanged among experts. Teachers who want to initiate ethics teaching can find suggestions and ideas in the database. UNESCO has organised meetings with ethics teaching experts in the previous biennium in Budapest, Moscow and Split. In the current biennium similar meetings have taken place in Muscat and Istanbul.

The quality of ethics teaching programs, however, also substantially depends on the quality of the teachers. Ethics teaching can be made much more influential and attractive for students if it is presented by a highly qualified, stimulating and inspiring teacher. In order to promote the quality of ethics teaching, UNESCO has developed an Ethics Teacher Training Course. The first course has taken place in Bucharest, Romania and has been a very positive experience. The second course will take place from 9 until 13 July 2007 in Egerton University, Kenya, in cooperation with the UNESCO Chair in Bioethics in Kenya.

This course will provide training to ethics teachers with the purpose to enhance their skills and abilities. It aims particularly on a younger generation of university teachers so that ethics teaching programs in the near future can expand and improve in all Member States of UNESCO. The course is initiated and supported by the Israel National Commission for UNESCO. It is organised in cooperation with the UNESCO Chairs in Bioethics in Haifa (Israel) and Egerton (Kenya).

I would like to bring this new initiative to your attention, encouraging you to stimulate young teachers to use this opportunity to enhance their competencies in the field of ethics teaching. More information as well as a registration form can be found on the SHS website
(http://portal.unesco.org/shs/en/ev.php-URL_ID=9448_DO=DO_TOPIC_SECTION=201.html <http://portal.unesco.org/shs/en/ev.php-URL_ID=9448&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html> <http://portal.unesco.org/shs/en/ev.php-URL_ID=9448&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html>  ). The Division of Ethics of Science and Technology is available for additional information.

Cours de Formation des Enseignants d'Ethique, Kenya

Une des activités entreprises pour la dissémination d'informations au sujet de la Déclaration Universelle sur la Bioéthique et les Droits de l'Homme récemment adoptée est le Programme d'Education à l'Ethique. Ce programme répertorie les programmes d'enseignement existants dans le domaine de l'éthique dans les Etats membres de l'UNESCO. Les différents programmes sont décrits, discutés dans des réunions d'experts, et mis à disposition dans l'Observatoire mondiale de l'éthique (www.unesco.org/shs/ethics/geobs). Les expériences relatives au contenu, à l'intensité, aux méthodes et au matériel des programmes existants sont donc mises à disposition du public et peuvent être échangées entre experts. Les enseignants qui souhaitent démarrer un enseignement d'éthique peuvent trouver des suggestions dans la base de données. L'UNESCO a organisé des réunions avec des experts en enseignement de l'éthique lors du biennium écoulé à Budapest, Moscou et Split. Dans le biennium actuel, des réunions similaires sont organisées à Muscat et Istanbul.

La qualité des programmes d'enseignement, néanmoins, dépend également dans une mesure substantielle de la qualité des enseignants. L'influence et l'attractivité de l'enseignement de l'éthique pour les étudiants peuvent être renforcées grâce à un enseignant hautement qualifié, stimulant et inspirant. Afin de promouvoir la qualité de l'enseignement de l'éthique, l'UNESCO a développé un Cours de Formation des Enseignants d'Ethique. Le premier cours a eu lieu au Centre Européen pour l'Enseignement Supérieur de l'UNESCO (CEPES) de Bucarest, Roumanie. En 2007, un cours similaire est prévue du 9 au 13 juillet 2007 à l'Université d'Egerton (Kenya), en coopération avec la Chaire UNESCO de bioéthique du Kenya.

Ce cours est mis en place comme un projet afin d'offrir une formation aux enseignants en éthique visant à améliorer leurs compétences et leurs capacités. Il vise en particulier la jeune génération d'enseignants universitaires, de façon que les programmes d'enseignement de l'éthique puissent s'améliorer et s'étendre dans tous les Etats membres de l'UNESCO dans un futur proche. Ce cours est initié et soutenu par la Commission Nationale Israëlienne pour l'UNESCO. Il est organisé en coopération avec le Centre Européen pour l'Enseignement Supérieur de l'UNESCO (CEPES) de Bucarest, Roumanie et la Chaire UNESCO de bioéthique de l'Université d'Haïfa, Israël.

J'aimerais porter cette nouvelle initiative à votre attention, en vous encourageant à stimuler les jeunes enseignants à profiter de cette opportunité de renforcer leurs compétences dans le domaine de l'enseignement de l'éthique. Vous trouverez plus d'information ainsi qu'un formulaire d'inscription sur le site Internet de SHS (http://portal.unesco.org/shs/en/ev.php-URL_ID=9448_DO=DO_TOPIC_SECTION=201.html <http://portal.unesco.org/shs/en/ev.php-URL_ID=9448&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html> <http://portal.unesco.org/shs/en/ev.php-URL_ID=9448&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html>  ). La Division d'éthique des sciences et des technologies est également à votre disposition pour toute information supplémentaire.
