Join ethical reflection-action

Globethics.net Conference - coming up!

Care and Compassion.

Methods for Sharing Values across Cultures and Religions

24-29 January 2009

Nairobi, Kenya

Globethics.net is holding an international, interreligious conference to reflect on how to best share values across religions and cultures. ‘Care and compassion’, prime values in many cultures and religions, will serve as support themes to the methodological reflection.

An innovative methodology

To prepare the conference, participants from various cultural, religious, and knowledge backgrounds will first exchange ideas and thoughts through online working groups. At the conference, discussions will take place in group and plenary sessions, and non-academic and/or non-discursive expressions of ethical values such as story-telling, art performances, etc. will be given special space and attention.

More details about the programme and the conditions of participation can be found here.
