The call for values is currently echoing throughout every land, as educators,
parents and more and more children are increasingly concerned about and
affected by violence, growing social problems, the lack of respect for
each other and the world around them, and the lack of social cohesion.
World leaders struggle with a myriad of problems.  Educators are, therefore, once again being asked to address problems which
have arisen within their societies. |

"In confronting the many
challenges that the future holds in store, humankind sees in education an
indispensable asset in its attempt to attain the ideals of peace, freedom and
social justice. The Organization does not see education as a miracle cure or a
magic formula opening the door to a world in which all ideals will be attained,
but as one of the principal means available to foster a deeper and more
harmonious form of human development and thereby to reduce poverty, exclusion,
ignorance, oppression and war."
 One Heart One
Nation: An Educational Program has been produced in response to the call for values. The
purpose of The Program is to provide guiding
principles and tools for the development of the whole person, recognizing that
the individual is comprised of physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual
dimensions.

What Kind of Program is One Heart One
Nation?
One Heart One Nation: An Educational
Program is a values education program. It offers a variety of experiential values
activities and practical methodologies to teachers and facilitators to
enable children and young adults to explore and develop universal values:
We are already conducting workshop and seminars in schools from past 4
years in the country. Our program results from schools indicate that students
are responsive to the values activities and become interested in discussing and applying values. Teachers report not only a decrease in aggressive
behavior, but also note that students are more motivated and exhibit an
increase in positive and cooperative personal and social skills.

Aims of the
educational program are:
・ To
help individuals think about and reflect on different values and the practical
implications of expressing them in relation to themselves, others, the
community and the world at large;
・ To
deepen understanding, motivation, and responsibility with regard to making
personal and social choices;
・ To
inspire individuals to choose their own personal, social, moral, and spiritual
values and be aware of practical methods for developing and deepening them; and
・ To encourage educators and
caregivers to look at education as providing students with a philosophy of
living, thereby facilitating their overall growth, development, and choices so
that they may integrate themselves into the community with respect, confidence,
and purpose.
True knowledge is that which established harmony and synthesis
between science on the hand and spirituality and ethics on the other hand.
