New
Zealand begins Facilitator Registration
One of the
strategies to improve our service in delivering excellent workshops and
presentations about The Virtues Project is to encourage people to become
Registered Facilitators. This allows VPNZ to know who is actively running
workshops, to provide networking and support, and to be able to make referrals
to facilitators from inquiries that come to us.
VPNZ in line
with other regional Virtues Project bodies is formally instituting this process
as of August 1, 2003.
Those of you
who would like to be listed on the website as a Registered Facilitator, to have
your workshops advertised on the VPNZ website as well as periodically in the
Education Gazette, and to receive referrals from national inquiries are now
asked to fill out our registered facilitator application form. (Please contact
Beth Lew for a copy of this form.)
No one
will be turned away but the form allows VPNZ to better know your skills and
interests and will help us match you with referrals.
A yearly
fee of $100NZ is also required as of April 1 each year. Since we’re starting
part way through the year, as of August 1st we are requiring $75.
This fee
will help pay for some of the services we are providing and will also help
people to make a formal commitment to working with The Virtues Project.
This is part
of the development process outlined by VPI over the last year. On becoming a
Registered Facilitator, you may elect to enter into a mentoring relationship
with a Licensed Trainer and begin to build specific skills that will help your
professional development.
All who have
done three day facilitator training before 2003 are eligible to register. As
new people finish 5 days training, they will be invited to register as well.
Maori
Development
Team Forms
On June 14
thirteen keen Virtues enthusiasts met in Paekakariki to discuss how the Virtues
Project in New Zealand can improve their efforts in sharing Virtues with Maori
communities. The call for interest had gone out over the Virtues Aotearoa
distribution list and several people responded, many who were not able to attend
but were keen to share their ideas. Thanks to all of you who responded with
such generosity and enthusiasm.
The
meeting resulted in the creation of a Maori Development team who will meet
periodically to discuss strategies for taking virtues to a wider community.
Some of the goals that the group identified as starting points for consultation
are: 1-creating move Virtues materials and music in Te Reo (Maori language for
our overseas readers), 2– writing proposals for funding, 3-sharing Virtues with
friends who are prominent in Maori affairs, and 4 - developing a marae-based
approach for workshops.
Much
energy was generated from this hui and everyone put their hand up at the end,
making the commitment to stay involved and take leadership in this role. The
next meeting will be in August.
Virtues
Mentorship Conference 2004
Raranga Wairua
-Weaving Our Spirits Together
What is
Mentorship? It’s more than a networking conference or a beautiful spiritual
retreat, although our South Pacific regional conferences provide these
opportunities. Mentorship is meant to provide people with the opportunity to
learn at a deeper level from others who have developed mastery.
We invite
you to come and weave with us.
Share your stories
— be a mentor and be mentored.
The Mentorship will begin on Saturday morning 9 AM the 24th of January and
finish on Monday 3.00 PM the 26th January (Auckland Anniversary Day). People can
arrive on Friday evening 23rd January .
The cost this year is estimated to be $300.
This year's programme will allow you to explore those areas you are passionate
about and inspire you to take your Virtues practices deeper and wider. Most
importantly it will put you in contact with others - these bonds will sustain
you in the year ahead both personally and in the Virtues work you do.
After a
formal welcome, these are some of the things we are planning:
*
Connecting the Connections - sharing what is happening in each region
and letting others know what help is needed
* Sharing Virtues Action Learning Projects and learning how to set your
own action learning goals
* Evening
Spirit walk
* Working with
indigenous groups; how to respect and understand different cultures and groups.
Sharing what's worked.
*
Spiritual companioning ; how we teach this and practising the skills
*
Developing Strategies for reaching your goals with Virtues
Dr. Dan Popov and Linda Kavelin Popov will be with us together with other
overseas guests.
Mentorship will
happen at the Vaughan Park Retreat Centre in Auckland again this year. Costs
haven’t been confirmed yet but we will publish these costs in the October
newsletter.
Fiji ‘Firsts’
and a High School Teacher’s Report
Recently
Virtues Project Fiji shared with us a report to one a funding organization about
the results of the Virtues workshops being held in Fiji. Here’s a list of
‘Firsts’ that were identified:
1. Fiji is
the first country in the world where the Ministry of Education has incorporated
the Virtues Project into its programs for every school to use throughout the
nation.
2. It is
the first country in the world, where every media company is promoting the
virtues simultaneously each week for 52 weeks.
3. Fiji is
the first country where the prisons department has made the Virtues Project
training part of its program for the prison officers for every prison in the
country.
4. The
founders have observed that this is the first country where they have seen a
communications company (i.e. Telecom Fiji Ltd) support and promote the Virtues
Project as a service to the community as well as for staff training.
A high
school teacher, Mr Emoisi Boila writes this report about the effect of the
Virtues Project in his school:
There is a
remarkable change in the overall character of St. Thomas High School in Lautoka,
Fiji. It is a school known for drugs, truancy, fights and where students were
given total freedom to express their “rights” but have taken advantage of this
freedom and used it the wrong way.
The Virtues
Project has changed this school with the cooperation of the Principal and his
staff. At first the students found it irritating, hard to cope with and weren’t
cooperating. Teachers were even sworn at, rude remarks were scribbled on the
wall, rumours were spread, but the spirit of the project was working for us.
After a lot
of hard work, determination, patience and tolerance, the situation has improved.
There are still problems-every now and then we experience shop lifting by
students, fighting amongst students, stealing from one another, and some
disrespect for teachers but I am glad that these have far lessened compared to
previous years.
I once
conducted a social science class on relationships. The questions were: what and
how do they relate to one another within their families-what were their
relationships between them and their parents, brothers, sisters and their
neighbours. It was a moving, touching experience when students related their
family situations with tears in their eyes. Some were frustrated as they gave an
account of their experiences at home.
One boy
“George” could not control his tears as he talked with frustration and anger
about his family. I decided to let him speak it all out. He told a story of
being an abused child, neglected, left to fend for himself, with no one to look
up to, and with a womanising father. No wonder he was always looking for
attention in class. He pokes students with sharp objects, lifts his “sulu” in
front of girls, punches boys, swears, lies, causes a lot of problems and is
always noisy. After he had told this story, he came to realize and understand
the reasons for all his behaviour. He was only looking for attention, love and
care but no one would bother to listen to him. My heart went to him that
afternoon. He was assured by some of his classmates who always fight with him
that they have come to understand him at the moment. The spirit was working.
Some
students told how they were loved and cared for by their parents but only a few
broke down before they could tell their story.
Another
student told how he lost his parents when he was 5 years old. He did not know
his father well. There are eight of them in the family where the eldest is only
17 years of age. Living in a family home of two bedrooms, whenever there are
visitors, the children are sent out. There is not enough food on the table,
shoes to wear, clothes and uniforms to wear. Another child is in a family of 8
children and the mother struggles to keep them, working as a house girl, merely
surviving.
I
can’t imagine why the world could be so cruel to some people while others enjoy
such luxury of life – but this is beside the point.
I would
strongly recommend that teachers spend quality time just listening to students
to understand them better than giving advice, talking and judging them. Teachers
must learn the skill of ‘offering spiritual companionship". I have found this
useful to deal with students 12 years to 15 years of age.
To teach
your children well, teachers need to understand them, offer as much as help as
we can, then change our attitude towards the students. In this way we can always
help students to improve themselves.
The school’s
weekly assemblies are based on virtues themes. Each form is to speak on the
Virtues theme with songs, dramas, speeches and posters. During the week,
students must practice the Virtue of the week. Each morning sharing takes place
in each form and the students share how they were able to practice the virtue of
the week in school, in the public, and at home.
Once a very
young girl had her money stolen. A day later two boys apologized and repaid the
money they had stolen from her. They had realized what they had done and had
decided to be responsible for their actions.
One way
teachers can teach effectively is to respect students. When you give respect to
students, you will also become respected. So practically if teachers want to
enforce students to use the virtues teachers themselves need to practice them.
With the students it should be seen in their daily work, language and what ever
the teachers do.
Changing the
Culture of Character in Schools
Recently,
Nassim Madjzoub, a young woman from the UK who is writing a paper about how
Virtues can change the culture of character in a class/school/country was
challenged by her supervisor . The supervisor pointed out that while the
intention of The Virtues Project may be to teach the universality of Virtues, 52
was too many for teachers or children to get a handle on. The supervisor felt
that teachers would end up choosing just the Virtues they would want to
emphasise. This is a concern because it is recognised in the educational
community that teachers by and large are from the dominant culture of any area
and will teach values upheld by their own culture. So, challenged the
supervisor, won’t The Virtues Project just provide another tool for teachers to
uphold the dominant cultures values to the detriment of other cultures?
Beth’s
reply:
Your
supervisor is right! But so are you. What usually happens- teachers or whole
schools will choose virtues they want to emphasise for the class or the school.
Many schools will set a schedule of teaching virtues for a whole term or even
the whole year.
They often
match these virtues first with their mission statement, then with activities
that are happening in the school. For instance, the week they do rocky shore
study, they might teach caring and draw it into caring for the environment. Or
the week they begin preparing for their school play, they might study creativity
and the week of the play might be confidence. And in between - during the
practices - they might have studied self-discipline. A high school PE programme
here in NZ has matched Virtues to each two week block throughout the year,
focusing on virtues that enhance self-esteem, team work, and good sportsmanship.
Some
teachers want to stay with certain virtues longer because they feel the children
don't understand them but other teachers see a rapid growth in understanding
virtues and children practicing them with gusto. These second teachers are able
to support children learning virtues beyond the weekly or twice monthly
scheduled dollop of Virtues of the week or month! When the programme is truly
child-driven, the children learn the virtues very quickly and do not find 52
overwhelming. Sometimes they even start adding their own to the mix. The Virtue
of Humour, of Wonder, of Beauty, etc.
So your
supervisor's question - if the teachers are choosing which virtues to emphasise
and controlling what input the children are getting, are we limiting the
universality of the virtues approach? Isn't this just another way for the
dominant culture to teach their own values?
My response
is no, that is not what happens in the end. Teachers will teach their values or
the community's values in any case- some with greater respect for other peoples
values and some with less.
The Virtues
Project supports Values Education BUT it is NOT Values Education in the
traditional sense. Virtues are not values - they are the building blocks of
character. Every culture honours the concept, the virtue of Respect,
Truthfulness, Courage, but each culture will SHOW this quality in different
ways. Respect can be shown with respectful words in one culture and respectful
silence in another. The underlying intention is to be respectful. The Value is
the way we show this intention - the words one culture uses, the silence the
other culture uses. When I come to visit you, you may ask me to come in, you may
expect me to take off my shoes at the door, you may offer me tea and cakes
without first asking if I want some. Or you may shout out the window for me to
let myself in, you may finish a conversation on the telephone, waving me into
the lounge, and totally forget to offer me any refreshment but end up having a
long, sincere and exciting conversation with me. These actions are the result of
cultural values held by an individual as a response to their own culture. The
Virtues enthusiast learns to see the Virtues underlying each person's actions.
As teachers
begin to use Virtues - in order to teach them to the students - they learn about
what these qualities mean, they begin to see and acknowledge INTENTION in their
students - 'I saw you were being caring of George this morning when you wanted
to help him and you started pushing Carl. Being caring for others is important
and George is glad you are his friend. George is learning to stand up for
himself and tell Carl what he likes and doesn't like. If this happens tomorrow,
what will be a good way to help George without you getting into trouble with
pushing again?'
For me,
using this process is the key to transforming the climate of culture in the
classroom. When students are acknowledged for the underlying virtue in their
intention, they rise to the best that is within them. They show more virtues,
not accidentally, but with purpose, to be the best they can be.
Then the
teacher responds in kind- rising to the best that is within her/him. And is
inspired to go deeper into what these virtues mean so they can continue
supporting more of this process.

mind is not a vessel to be filled

New Licensed
Trainer in Europe
Sue Richards
formerly of the Whakatane region here in New Zealand is now Sue Ferguson (having
just married) and is living in the UK. She has just become a Licensed Trainer
and is working with Margaret Mohamed doing Virtues Project workshops in Europe.
Sue is specializing in working with schools naturally and many teachers and
educators are finding her experience working with children and character
education very beneficial.
Margaret
Mohamed continues as Licensed Trainer as well and reports Virtues Connection
Geneva has formed in the past two months. The new Virtues Connection has set
goals for promotion and networking and has advertised their first set of
workshops coming up in the next few months. Contact mohamad@bluewin.ch for more
information or look on the Virtues Project International Website so you can let
friends and relatives in Europe know about these opportunities.
The numbers
of people who have attended workshops keeps rising. Both Margaret Mohamed and
Sue Richards have done a number of courses in Geneva, England, Sweden and
Germany. Together they have done two second-level three day courses in Geneva
and Norwich UK. They were a great success. Several people have registered to
begin the process of developing as a facilitator and lots have bought the
Leaders Manual on CD. Margaret also did a 5 day in Ampleforth UK on her own as
Sue was away on her honeymoon!!! Future plans include 5 days in Spain early
September and 5 days in Holland early October. Local enthusiasts are organising
these for Margaret and Sue.
Margaret
hopes to do another training in Geneva in November. Sue may be working more
directly with UK schools in her area. They are both involved in
encouraging, mentoring and supervising some of the newly trained people to start
running workshops themselves. This is a learning curve for all involved but
seems the best way to build a sustainable base in each country. They are also
encouraging the formation of connections to meet in each area to keep people
practicing the strategies together.

Here’s a
recent story shared on the facilitator exchange:
Dear Virtues
Friends
I want to
share this inspiring story from my daughter's friend. (she gave me permission to
share her story.)
This young
woman recently got a job in an office in Seattle, WA and brought her virtues
cards with her the first day of her new job. She said as people came to her desk
to introduce themselves she had then pick a virtue. She told them that sometimes
dealing with the public in the way they do tests their emotions and that
practicing virtues each day will help in staying positive through these tests.
She said now
every morning people stop at her desk and take a virtues card back to their desk
and practice it and bring it back the next day and pick a new one!! She said
it's working so well that people from other floors are coming to pick cards too!
What a
simple idea and it shows the POWER of using the virtues.
Enthusiastically, Terry Rahn (Wisconsin)

Virtues Action
Learning in New Zealand
8 Virtues
enthusiasts gathered together in June for the fifth intake of the Virtues Action
Learning program in New Zealand. We learned about Action Learning, went for
spirit walks, ate lovely meals together, shared projects and journeys from last
year and set new projects for the coming year. It was a marvelous, heartfelt
and joyful weekend that filled us all up and inspired all the participants to
action. Radha Sahar was able to join us for the last session and shared her
wonderful farewell song about companioning. There wasn’t a dry eye as we ended
our weekend retreat.
This
programme is now being offered internationally and can be done by phone and
email. But for those of you who live close enough, the residential programme
is well-worth a weekend away from home. Next year’s programme will be in
mid-June again.

Whangarei
Virtues
Project Licensed Trainer Gilbert Paki of Whangarei, is piloting in three
selected school sites, a behavioural program for year 7 and 8 students in
conjunction with the Miriam Centre, a local child protection agency.
Gilbert
works alongside a dedicated team of child and family therapists who over the
past 3 - 4 months have had 188 children referred for therapy from schools
throughout Northland. Of these, 155 children are referred for carrying out overt
acts of violence against other children and adults, such as stabbings and other
serious forms of physical violence.
The pilot
project involves working with the school staff as well as the children and their
families. While in its initial stages of development, The Virtues Project will
eventually be integrated into this pilot program in appropriate areas, such as
the school disciplinary systems and parenting.
On a
parallel level, a recent request was made from Whangarei community mental health
workers for training in The Virtues Project. A number of other health workers
also requested a "strengths-based" training model that would enhance their
practice skills.
An
introductory 2 day "Awakening the Virtues Within" course on the 23/24 August
will be followed by a 3 day facilitators course 26 to 28 September. For further
details please contact Gilbert Paki, phone (09) 435-5026 or email gilbertp@ihug.co.nz.
Wellington
Inspired by
the ''Soulful Life'' workshop offered by Dr. Dan Popov ,a group of Wellington
women (including Lynne Klap) have been creating some Soul Ceremonies and putting
into practice some of the things learnt from the workshop. The purpose of the
ceremonies have actually to celebrate, support and acknowledge the virtues in
young people in our community and for the older members to share their wisdom.
So far they have been centred around young women.
Three
virtues were considered in creating the ceremonies:
Purposefulness - being mindful of what and why we were creating the ceremony
Reverence -
Setting clear boundaries around the ceremony so a deep sense of reverence is
created and has meaning for the young people and ourselves
Love - The
motivation behind the acknowledgment was love for the young women and their
journey
It has
helped the older women who created the ceremony do their own soul work and has
been a profoundly moving experience all round
Korea
In early
July, about 39 US military men and women and 23 Korean citizens received
introductory training in The Virtues Project in Seoul. The training, sponsored
by USO– a volunteer agency dedicated to supporting the welfare of American
military overseas, included preparing the military personnel to deliver an
English as a Second Language programme created for them by Claire Ngwira of New
Zealand. The Americans will teach the Virtues ESOL lessons as a service project
to Korean children in an effort to enhance Korean-American relationships. The
Korean citizens who attended the workshop will help by doing presentations to
Korean school principals and staff and assist in setting up the service
projects. The programme has already been successful in two schools in Seoul
with many more on a waiting list to receive the programme.
Following
the two day introductory training, the Korean participants and 6 American
military personnel received facilitator training with Beth Lew. The Korean
participants loved The Virtues Project and see it as a way of healing the
differences in their country as well as a way of identifying and maintaining
their own unique cultural values. The Americans are just as eager to take The
Virtues Project back home with them when they return.
On the
agenda are a full translation of The Educators Guide in Korean and publishing a
set of Korean Virtues Cards. The designs include original cartoons drawn by
Kapono Chung, a 23 year old art student, in the style of Digimon characters–
sure to be popular with children
