Global Ethics Network

"A global, interactive network sharing content and discourse"

The Carnegie Council is establishing partnerships with educational institutions around the world to create the Global Ethics Network, a group that engages in non-partisan, interactive education about global issues.

Partners develop local Carnegie Global Ethics Centers/Labs, which use Carnegie Council resources and contribute original content. Video and audio content is edited by the Carnegie Ethics Studio in New York, transformed into easily used formats, and shared with the Network. In the process, a cross-cultural dialogue develops and educational activities take on deeper, richer dimensions.

Purpose

• Engage in face-to-face programming, both in the classroom and with diverse audiences
• Generate distinctive local video and classroom content
• Participate in joint Network Programs
• Create a cross-cultural dialogue
• Evaluate and improve the educational materials

Network Programs

• Class Activities, such as Exercises and Case Studies
• Lesson Plans
• Videoconferences: several each semester from around the Network
• Joint Lectures, Symposium, and Conferences
• Faculty Development Programs (see Faculty Opportunities)
