Highlights from VbE Overseas
Latvia
Dr Neil Hawkes visited Latvia in September 2019 - 'an experience which touched his heart'.
Latvia has a diverse mix of schools, ranging from State, Parent, Russian medium schools etc. These have grown up in Latvia since the end of the Soviet era.
The country is at a crucial junction: how to educate its population using a pedagogy that meets the needs of children and society in the 21st Century?
There are many challenges but these are being faced with determination, resilience and enthusiasm...

China
Dr Neil Hawkes and Jane Hawkes were invited to speak at an Education Conference
in China over the summer (July 2019),
to spend some time in lessons with children and young people,
and also to explore some of the culture there.
Interesting times!

VbE Consultant Pat Beechey first visited Nigeria in 2017 and has worked via internet communication with school leaders throughout the year.
She returned in August 2018 to see the positive difference the work is making and to train more passionate educationalists in Values-based Education.
Despite challenging conditions, VbE is taking off in Nigeria through the work of dedicated and commited teachers.

India
In July 2018, we visited Gujarat to see how the work of Divine Child International Schools was developing.
Members of the leadership team had visited London in November 2016 and returned to India full of passion for VbE and to make a difference.
They have truly brought Values-based Education to India!
Sue Webb's report of the visit
Sri Lanka
In December 2017, VbE were given the opportunity to join Think Equal as they trained 300 Master Trainers in a values-based curriculum for 3-4 year olds.
These Master Trainers are now training teachers in every one of the 19,000 pre schools on an island where peace is relatively new (after a horrific war) and still quite fragile.
The Government in Sri Lanka have made the Think Equal curriculum mandatory, and VbE were privileged to be a part of the introduction of this formal values education initiative.

Iceland
Alfaheidi School, a VbE Quality Mark (Nursery) school in Iceland, have produced this beautiful short film about their work.
Nigeria
In August 2017, VbE was approached with a request to provide a consultant to support the Foundation for Values Transformation (FVT) - in introducing and establishing Values based Education into the state education system in Lagos, Nigeria.
48 leaders of Nigerian state schools were trained.
They will now be able to introduce VbE to their own schools and, in time, to other state schools in Nigeria.
