Students of Character For Kids ®
Since the beginning of the Character for Kids program numerous seminars
have been conducted in Russia,
Ukraine,
Lithuania,
Estonia, and
Hungary. During this time we have
observed changing attitudes among students and faculty alike. The way students
view themselves and how they react to daily challenges and circumstances are
being changed for good. We are greatly encouraged when we think about how these
teachers and future teachers will be influencing our future world by teaching
the CFK curriculum.
Student Association
In 1999, the students at Volgograd State
Pedagogical University
took the initiative to form a Character Development Trainers' Association. The
association was formed to:
Promote the understanding of CFK's seven universal moral values and the
many roles that education plays in the shaping the perpetuation of cultures, the
development of mutual understanding between nations and influencing the lives of
individuals in a changing world.
Improve opportunities for the citizens of the world by fostering an
understanding of how a person's character is formed in early childhood by
parents, teachers and the educational environment.
Increase cross-cultural understanding through the educational process of
the study of character development and practices that affect individual and
social well-being.
