Expert Workshop for university lecturers aimed at enhancing their capacity to teach on integrity and ethics

 

On 18 and 19 October 2018, the Education for Justice (E4J) initiative held an Expert Workshop for university lecturers aimed at enhancing their capacity to teach on integrity and ethics. The Expert Workshop took place at the Universidad del Rosario in Bogota, Colombia, with the support of UNODC-Colombia. The objective of the Workshop was to bring together university lecturers, in their individual capacity, in order to:

• enhance their familiarity with the E4J Integrity and Ethics University Modules;
• consider effective approaches to teaching the Modules in universities around the world, at both the undergraduate and graduate level;
• strengthen the participants' capacity to teach courses based on the Modules; 
• support participants in adapting and integrating the Modules into existing or new courses; and
• address possible impact assessments and other follow-up activities for enhancing integrity and ethics education at the university level. 

After the workshop, participants are expected to teach at least one of the Modules in the upcoming academic year, and are encouraged to provide UNODC with feedback on the quality and user-friendliness of the materials. The feedback will enable UNODC to continuously improve the Modules, with the ultimate aim of promoting quality integrity and ethics education worldwide. 

Having recently completed the development of the E4J University Modules on Integrity and Ethics, UNODC is now focusing on rolling them out and engaging as many universities and academics as possible to strengthen integrity and ethics education worldwide. The Expert Workshop is a key part of this endeavour. The Modules and an associated Teaching Guide are freely available on the E4J website.
