From 24th to 26th March 2022, Centre Director Professor James Arthur, Research Fellow Michael Fullard, and MA Character Education Lecturer Paul Watts visited Universidad Francisco de Vitoria in Madrid to engage with character researchers interested in further establishing the place of a virtue-ethics-led approach to education across Spain. Whilst there, the Centre delegation delivered a series of lectures on character education to 600 teachers as part of Universidad Francisco de Vitoria’s ‘Educate in Virtues’ conference.

Centre staff will once again engage with colleagues from UFV Madrid in June 2022, as they join educators, academics, and funders from across Europe for the ‘Supporting the Establishment of Character Education Research Centres in Europe’ symposium coordinated by the Jubilee Centre.
