The world has never been as rich as it is today, yet over one billion people suffer from extreme poverty. (www.unesco.org). UNESCO is committed to raising awareness to the fact that freedom from poverty is a fundamental human right. (www.unesco.org)
Today, 75 million children are excluded from education. 60% of them are girls living in Arab States and 66% in South and West Asia. The main reasons for exclusion are poverty, gender inequity, disability, child labor, speaking a minority language, belonging to an indigenous people, and living a nomadic or rural lifestyle (http://www.unesco.org/).
I also thought this was interesting. There are 2 ethics Teacher Training Courses being held at the beginning of this summer. One of the courses will take place at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Belgrade (Serbia) from 27 June to 1 July 2011. The other course will be hosted by the Inter-University Center in Dubrovnik (Croatia), from 4 to 8 July 2011. The courses have been designed to provide training to ethics teachers with the purpose to enhance their skills and abilities (www.unesco.org).
