ETHICS, Ethical Competence in Adult Education as Educational Component will lead to the production of tools and training materials on education and evaluation of ethical responsibilities and their role in education provision for adults. Ethical responsibilities generally relate to how a person constructs him or herself and his/her relationships with others according to a number of values, involving both affective and emotional aspects. These skills seem to have, a certain influence on the professional life of the person on one hand and on the other an influence on success in private life. However, the debate on this subject is open and educational issues relating to ethical responsibilities remain to be explored.
The project aims to clarify the meaning, define the nature and draw guidelines as related to the education and assessment of these skills. The partners and participants involved in the project will work together to produce a guide to proper education and assessment of skills in ethical education for adults.
The creation of this guide will lead the partners to experience firsthand the tools used in their respective local and national environments, therefore identifying common European values and their sharing amongst all partners and stakeholders involved.
