Project ETHICS – Empowering Tomorrow’s Heroes with Integrity, Citizenship & Service – is an initiative of Step Up Nigeria that seeks to strengthen ethics education and values-based learning among children and young people across West Africa. The project has received approval from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Tourism of the Republic of Malta and will be implemented through the Maltese High Commission in Ghana. The collaboration emerged from ‘Connecting Classrooms’ engagements on Ethics in Ethiopia. Recognising the opportunity to combine Malta’s experience in institutionalising ethics education nationally with Step Up Nigeria’s expertise in developing ethics education tools and programmes, the partners identified Ghana as an important location to pilot and adapt these approaches within a West African context. The project aims to support the long-term institutionalisation of ethics education within Ghana through a combination of policy dialogue, teacher capacity building, digital access to ethics education resources, and the dissemination of learning materials.
