Earth Charter International and Creative Educators International Network Join Forces to Foster Value-Creating Education

We welcome a new partnership between Earth Charter International and Creative Educators International Network (CEIN). With both organizations working in the field of education for peace and sustainability, and their dedication to communities and education for global citizenship, it’s not surprising this collaboration now becomes official.

Through the partnership, members of CEIN will have access to the Earth Charter materials, which they can use to implement value-creating education in their communities, businesses, schools and universities.  CEIN will use the principles of the Earth Charter for planning and creating training activities for their members.

CEIN founder and President Stephanie Tansey* shared, “Educating and learning is to live in a space of reciprocal acceptance, where there is legitimate respect for oneself and others and a special deep gratitude, appreciation and respect for the environment. CEIN recognizes itself directly in the Earth Charter principles.  By collaborating with Earth Charter International, our members have the opportunity to use the Earth Charter and its pedagogical and global perspective to further develop our focus on sustainability in local communities.”

“Partnering with CEIN, an organization committed to implementing value-creating education and the Earth Charter,” said Earth Charter Executive Director Mirian Vilela, “makes it possible to reach educators around the world and help them in their professional development to support the transition to peaceful and sustainable ways of living.”

*Stephanie Tansey: It is with deep sadness that we heard about the passing away of Stephanie Tansey on 31 March 2019. Stephanie was a great Earth Charter Champion! She carried the EC everywhere she went, China, Nigeria, Central Asia, USA and other places. We admired her tenacity and consistence over time. She will be missed. We are holding Stephanie in our thoughts and hearts.

May her soul rest in peace and may all the good and great work she did on this Earth continue to flourish.
