Welcome!

The Asia-Pacific Network for Moral Education (APNME) welcomes professional educators who have an interest in, and commitment to, moral education and moral development and who care about fostering moral values in what they teach and how they teach. The Asia-Pacific region has a long and distinguished history of moral education and education itself is often seen as a values-based endeavour. The purpose of APNME is to foster and strengthen the teaching of and research into moral education and moral development in this region and globally. From small, informal beginnings in 2006, APNME has grown into a formal network of educators who are either located in the Asia-Pacific region or who have a special interest in or connection with the region.


APNME's main event is its annual Conference, the venue for the which moves from place to place each year. The 2025 conference will be held in South East Asia. We are seeking a conference partner. If you are interested in finding out more about our conference, please visit this website and learn more about it later.

In 2025, we will hold some open seminars. The list will be shown here in due time.
