Newsletter No1/2023 - Our commitment for International Day of Education 2023
Editorial by Fadi Daou, Executive Director
On 24 January 2023 the world celebrated the fifth edition of the International Day of Education, this year under the theme “To invest in people, prioritize education”. One day before, the Board of Foundation of Globethics.net approved the organisation's new strategy for the coming five years (2023-2027) under the title of: “Ethical leadership through higher education and global engagement”.
This coincidence in timing, in addition to the resonance between the two titles, reflects our strong belief that education is the way to build a more just, inclusive, and sustainable world, and that we need more ethical leaders to achieve it.
We, at Globethics.net, through our international programmes and network, are more committed than ever to equipping individuals and institutions for ethical thinking, decision-making and action through higher education and policy engagement from cross-cultural and global perspectives. With you, we want to make education a path for dignity and social responsibility, for everyone, everywhere.
