Earth Charter International and Creative Educators International Network Join Forces to Foster Value-Creating Education
San José, Costa Rica, January 2019
As the New Year just started, 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 its 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 Earh 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 peace and sustainable ways of living."

About Earth Charter
The Earth Charter is an ethical framework for building a just, sustainable, and peaceful global society in the 21st century. It seeks to inspire a new sense of global interdependence and shared responsibility for the well-being of the human family, the greater community of life, and future generations. The Earth Charter provides a valuable educational instrument. It encourages to search for common ground in the midst of our diversity and to embrace a global ethic that is shared by an ever-growing number of people.
About CEIN
The CREATIVE EDUCATORS INTERNATIONAL NETWORK, Inc. (CEIN) is a non-profit NGO dedicated to inspiring educators who are implementing value-creating education in different ways. Through deepening understanding and empathy, CEIN is determined to lay the foundation for construction of a United Nations of Education.
The Earth Charter Education Center was Costa Rica's 1st LEED building for education.

Creative Educators International Network (CEIN) began to take form about 15 years ago when I recognized a shared need for a place where value-creating educators from around the world could gather and encourage each other. To my delight, other educators were enthusiastic about the idea, too. We joined together to build a tradition of dialogue during semiannual online CEIN Forums. The format of these forums was inspired by an Earth Charter education conference I attended in 2003 and the subsequent online summary activity that I was asked to conduct. This ongoing CEIN dialogue has grown along with each new member as we deepen, share and apply our understanding of value-creating education principles in our classrooms and communities.
The life principle that anyone can create value, including through meaningful dialogue, is a powerful idea that leads to individual and collective change for the better. Communities that are contributive in this way begin to thrive too. Dr. Daisaku Ikeda's annual Peace Proposal, which is submitted to the United Nations each year on January 26, showed us this new way to teach and lie together. This fundamental solidarity is responsible for what CEIN is today and what we want to share.
Today we are focused on building strong relationships in our communities, which currently span four regions - Europe, Brazil, Asia and the United States. We want to touch the life of people for the better and inspire them to join us as protagonists for change. We hope they will become sustainable community educators traveling with us on the road toward a United National of Education. Indeed, our four regions work out problems and find solutions together much like a United Nations of Education will need to do in the future.
We hope our old and new friends will follow the development of CEIN and ECI members by reading our experiences, struggles and development of clear evidence of changing communities in the new Community News section of our website. You'll find our newsletters there, as well.
