Get involved in a very special campaign to promote ethics as a transformative force in higher education and societies!

As members of our global network, we invite you to take part in our Living Letter Campaign in collaboration with the International Council for Open and Distance Education (ICDE).

Join us in writing to key stakeholders, influential figures and decision-makers to ask them to lift their voices and drive decisions in their spaces of public responsibility to:

• ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and to promote lifelong learning opportunities for all;
• promote ethics and values as a transversal subject matter in higher education curricula and in the institutional development of higher education,
• and encourage and advocate for the establishment of cross-sectoral alliances and networks on education at regional and global levels for open, flexible and distance learning opportunities for all.

How to take part!

1. Download the Living Letter Campaign postcards and letter templates (see below)
2. You can print them to send by mail or edit them with your preferred platform to send them virtually
3. Address them to key stakeholders, influential figures and decision-makers in education in your country
4. (Optional) translate the message into your language and/or adapt the message so it’s relevant to the situation in your community/countr
