Is it possible to interlace young people's learning experiences and educational curricula with a decidedly values-based approach and ethos? And if so, what's the best way -- and the best values to inculcate (and what do we mean by 'values')? Dr Neil Hawkes is a dynamic and engaging person on a mission, wholly committed to inculcating values-based education far and wide. He is the founder in the UK of Values-based Education (www.ValuesBasedEducation.com), and explores with me here his aim of strengthening young people's resilience and well-being, and nurturing the development of good character, deep thinking and altruistic behaviour -- and he shares how young people, in turn, contribute to his own transformative growth.
