This project aims to deepen the training of Comunidad Araucaria members and their technical teams in the area of character education and develop public policy initiatives in their territories that promote the development of virtues. To achieve this, the project team will carry out the following actions:

  1. Include a training session on character education in all face-to-face community meetings.
  2. Identify and invite high-level speakers to the meetings who act as role models of virtuous leadership.
  3. Organize virtual meetings with the technical teams of the ministers who are members of the Network to delve into the topic, focusing especially on presenting successful experiences in implementing character development offices/policies.
  4. Build a network of community alumni (members who are no longer ministers of education) who act as "Ambassadors of Character Education" and carry out mentoring tasks for current network members, sharing their experiences and contributing to their ongoing training on the subject.
