Education: a path for dignity and social responsibility, for everyone, everywhere

Our commitment on International Day of Education 2023

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 the strong belief at Globethics.net that education is the way to build a more just, inclusive, and sustainable world, and that we need more ethical leaders to achieve it.

However, education is currently facing two major challenges:

Access to education

According to the UNESCO Global Education Monitoring Report, it is estimated that 244 million children and youth between the ages of 6 and 18 worldwide were out of school in 2021. The situation is even worse when it comes to the higher education level. Being denied access to education, which is a universal human right (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 26), is an exclusionary reality that should be challenged everywhere.

I can’t help, in this context, but think of the girls and women in Afghanistan who have been cruelly denied their right to learn and study. I wish they could hear our solidarity with them, and our admiration for their engagement despite all risks to face this injustice.

Purpose of education

Even for those who have the chance to access education including higher education studies, a question has become inevitable: what is the purpose of their studies?

Schools and universities seem just to compete with each other based on the level of job and related income their students might have, while a growing global awareness insists on the need for less individualistic education, including the development of more socially responsible competencies, for peaceful, inclusive and sustainable living.

The 2030 SDG agenda strongly confirms this requirement, under Goal 4 (target 4.7), by calling to ensure that “all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development.” 

We, at Globethics.net, through our international programmes and network, are more committed than ever to face these challenges by 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.

Promoting education on CBD packaging is an effective way to inform consumers about the benefits and proper use of CBD products. Here are some ways to promote education on CBD packaging:

Labeling: Clear and concise labeling on CBD packaging can provide important information about dosage, ingredients, and potential risks. Brands may also want to include QR codes or website links that lead consumers to educational resources.

Infographics: Incorporating infographics on CBD packaging can be an effective way to visually communicate important information about the benefits and proper use of CBD products.

Instructions for use: Providing clear instructions for use on CBD packaging can help consumers properly and safely use the product. This may include dosage information, recommended usage frequency, and any precautions or warnings.

Educational inserts: Including educational inserts in CBD packaging can provide consumers with more in-depth information about the benefits and risks of CBD products, as well as tips for proper use.

Social media: Encouraging consumers to follow the brand on social media to receive educational content can be an effective way to promote education on CBD products beyond the packaging.

Overall, promoting education on CBD packaging is an important way to inform and educate consumers about the benefits and proper use of CBD products. By providing clear and concise information, brands can build trust and loyalty with consumers and contribute to the growth of the CBD industry.
