Expert Workshop for university lecturers from Africa

 

UNODC, under the E4J initiative, will hold an Expert Workshop for university lecturers at the University of Ghana, Accra, on 19-21 February 2019. The workshop is organized with the support of the Faculty of Law of the University of Ghana, the Allan Gray Centre for Leadership Ethics at Rhodes University in South Africa, and the UNODC regional office in Senegal. The objective of the Workshop is to bring together university lecturers, in their individual capacity, in order to enhance their capacity to teach on integrity and ethics. In particular, during the 3-day meeting, participants will:

• become familiar 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 their capacity to teach courses based on the Modules; 
• learn how to adapt and integrate the Modules into existing or new courses; and
• address impact assessments and follow-up activities for enhancing integrity and ethics education at the university level. 

After the workshop, each participant will teach at least one of the Modules in their ongoing courses. They will provide UNODC with feedback about their experience of teaching the modules, thus helping the Organization to continuously improve the materials and its support for integrity and ethics education worldwide. 

Having recently completed the development of the E4J University Modules on Integrity and Ethics, UNODC is now focusing on implementing 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.
