Quality for Impact in the Real World

 

Editorial by Amélé Adamavi-Aho Ekué, Academic Dean

 

Globethics is welcoming a cohort of executives and broader interested audience of individuals from around the globe in this second semester. Along with the excitement of continuing to develop quality, context-relevant and impact-oriented educational provisions that will help the target groups to develop their professional competencies in ethics, Globethics is pleased to announce that the European Agency for Higher Education and Accreditation (EAHEA) has awarded the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS)-accreditation for Globethics online ethics courses.

This programme certification means that course participants will be able to have their learning outcomes and certificates recognised by their own institutions. Each course has been allocated between 2 to 4 ECTS-credits, for which Globethics is also able to demonstrate the equivalence with credit systems of other countries.

Book of the Month: The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth

This book, featured in relation to the Christian Creation season, from 1 September to 4 October, collects the author's signature views on the interrelatedness of both Earth’s future and the Christian future. He ponders why Christians have been late in coming to the issue of the environment. He reflects insightfully on how the environment must be seen as a religious - not simply a scientific or economic - issue.
