IVET Initiatives

Our mission is to inspire individuals and organisations to live a values-based life, which we believe will lead to the flourishing of humanity and our planet creating harmony.

This section will outline some of our initiatives.

Our main highly successful initiative has been to support schools and other settings to develop a values-based culture www.valuesbasededucation.com

Dr Neil Hawkes says, “Our world desperately needs hope. Values-based Education (VbE) brings this by transforming education and society, so that young people are educated holistically. VbE creates schools for the flourishing of humanity, based on giving staff and pupils access to an ethical vocabulary and time to explore the makeup of their inner worlds. A culture is nourished in which young people and adults thrive because they live their values, ethically self-regulating their thinking and behaviour. This is the foundation of ethical leadership, which is the key for peace , cooperation and harmony."

Our work is having a profound effect on schools worldwide.

Our Founder Neil Hawkes is in demand worldwide as an inspirational speaker and social commentator. See neilhawkes.com

We intend to work to inspire adults and organisations to adopt Values-based Living, through the development of their ethical intelligence. Self-leadership, based on a chosen ethical set of values, gives meaning, purpose and direction to our personal lives.

We encourage our Affiliates to actively model and celebrate their values; in so doing influence a positive change in society is a major focus for us.
