CSME plans to expand its activity this year
Lectures on moral education at training sessions organized by the Institute of Moralogy for teachers and others involved in education are an important aspect of the work of CSME members, and the CSME plans to expand this type of activity this year.
Such training sessions, which have taken place for the past 50 years, give those attending various kinds of opportunities to learn about how moral education should be conducted in homes, schools and local communities. In 2012, for example, sessions took place at 97 venues all over Japan, with more than 10,000 people participating. The titles of lectures given by three professors provide a flavor of what was on offer here:
