PROVE Project Insights Presented at the 2026 Conference of Moral Researchers in Munich

From January 15th to 17th, 2026, the PROVE project (Promoting Values Education in South Caucasus Higher Education Institutions) was prominently featured at the Conference of Moral Researchers (Tagung der Moralforscher:innen), held at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, Germany.

Representing the AVaKE association, Jean-Luc Patry delivered a comprehensive presentation titled “Values Education in Crisis Areas: Conceptions of HEI Teachers in the South Caucasus” (Werterziehung in Krisengebieten: Vorstellungen von Hochschul-Lehrkräften im Südkaukasus). The work was a collaborative effort, co-authored by a diverse international team of experts: Dimitris Pnevmatikos, Angelina Lithoxoidou, Triantafyllia Georgiadou, Serob Khachatryan, Ana Gigauri, Tamar Mosiashvili, and Ekaterine Shaverdashvili.

The session provided a deep dive into the unique educational landscape of the South Caucasus, specifically focusing on Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.

The presentation was tailored for a specialized audience of German-speaking researchers, sparking meaningful dialogue on how moral education can be adapted to regions facing socio-political sensitivities. Participation in such high-level academic forums underscores the PROVE project’s role in contributing to the global discourse on ethics and education.

This collaboration between partners from Austria, Greece, Armenia, and Georgia continues to pave the way for innovative pedagogical strategies in the South Caucasus.

The PROVE project is co-funded by the European Union.
