Learning to Live Together

The Arigatou Foundation, in close collaboration with UNESCO has developed a new publication titled

LEARNING TO LIVE TOGETHER: An Intercultural and Interfaith Programme for Ethics Education (PDF, 234 pages)

It has been developed for use in different religious and secular contexts as a resource for everyone concerned with promoting ethics and values. The objective has been to develop a resource that is relevant on a global level and yet flexible enough to be interpreted within different cultural and social contexts.

An earlier UNESCO publication was

Learning to Live Together in Peace and Harmony: Values Education for Peace, Human Rights, Democracy and Sustainable Development for the Asia-Pacific Region
