This project will encourage students to look at their personal Values and to compare them with the Values that students in other countries consider to me important. We will look at a list of Values adopted by each school involved in the project and see whether it is possible to create a set of 'Core Values' that could be applied to every country involved in the project. We will then write a Student manifesto (a working document) in which they will state how they feel these values should be implemented.
