New York, NY, May 13, 2009—In the 21st century, the discussion of ethics must be global, cross-cultural, and interactive.To that end, the Carnegie Council is establishing partnerships with educational institutions around the world to create the Global Ethics Network, a group that engages in non-partisan, interactive education about global issues.So far, agreements have been signed with network partners in Asia, the Middle East, and North America.Partners are developing local Carnegie Global Ethics Centers/Labs, which use Carnegie Council resources and also contribute original content. All video and audio content is edited by the Carnegie Ethics Studio in New York, transformed into easily used formats, and shared with the Network.Network programs will include class activities such as exercises, case studies and lesson plans. There will also be videoconferences, joint lectures, symposia, and conferences."The Council's mission is to promote the discussion of ethics in international affairs, and technology makes it possible to extend our reach worldwide," says Program Director William Vocke."This network will engage in face-to-face programming, both in the classroom and with diverse audiences. Our partners will participate in joint network programs and create their own distinctive local video and classroom content. In the process, a cross-cultural dialogue will naturally develop and these educational activities will take on deeper, richer dimensions."The initial partner list is as follows:
AsiaNational ChengChi University, Taipei
Renmin University, Beijing
Shanghai International Studies University, Shanghai
