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 changes from place to place each year.
Our 2025 Annual Conference will be held in early November 2025.
It will be hosted by the Center for Character and Diversity Studies at Brawijaya University in Malang Indonesia. Its theme is Moral Education & Diversity Boundaries towards the Future of Artificial Intelligence.
Further information will be updated by the end of March 2025.
In 2025, we will hold some open seminars. The list will be shown here in due time.
