COBISS.SI-ID: 512653952The ETHOS project is an applicative project arising out of basic research project that targets primary school and kindergarten teachers and offers them an innovative lifelong learning opportunities focused on ethical education. Ethical education and critical thinking have a key role in forming an ethical mature human being. Despite this, practices, experiences and opportunities for teachers to obtain knowledge in this field in EU vary significantly. In several EU and candidate countries education professionals belong to groups with the lowest opportunities for professional development and continuous education/training. The project analyses the existing state of the art of ethical education in the participating countries to clearly define the needs of the teachers and the most suitable educational methods for children resulting in method. guidelines. Based upon this, educ. materials and tools (both for the training of teachers as well as for pupils; including moral dilemma guides, conflict resolution, ethical underpinning of subjects, critical thinking, guide for developing a code of ethics, etc.) in 7 languages will be developed, with several curricula on the topic that will be available for partic. institutions and others. Pilot training, workshops and test-beds will be carried out in order to develop final outputs, which will be broadly disseminated, also by using ICT.
