Join us for an exploration of Values-based Education and why holistic education is important in today’s world.
This evening will be hosted by Neil Hawkes FRSA, founder of VbE and Bridget Knight, CEO of Vbe.
Dr. Neil Hawkes D. Phil (Oxford), MEd, BA, FRSA
Neil Hawkes is a doctoral graduate of Kellogg College, Oxford University. He is well known worldwide as an inspirational speaker, educator, broadcaster, author and social commentator. He is a popular TEDx presenter.
Neil’s thinking is having a profound influence on education globally. Neil first gained international recognition when he was a Headteacher in Oxfordshire, UK. Here he worked with a school community to devise and implement a model of education, which would give pupils a transformational vocabulary, based on values such as respect, tolerance, humility and justice. The school community found that pupils were empowered to embody ethical intelligence, the ability to ethically self-regulate their thinking and behaviour. Pupils developed the capacity to be ethical leaders. The quality of their schoolwork was enhanced too because they took responsibility for their learning and had time for silent reflection.
Today Neil’s philosophy has spread into all aspects of society worldwide and is known as Values-based Leadership. He is one of the V20 Task Group of values experts who advise G20 leaders about the importance of values to humanity.
