Devoted to the study of liberal education and its value
for the development of character and professional ethics
News
"The conversation around great books is an intellectual enrichment opportunity for high school and college students."
Zena Hitz: "Teaching is essentially about modeling. You have to be a model of what you teach."
The activities of the Civic Humanism Center are based on the conviction that universities have an important responsibility with respect to the challenges that societies face today. The kind of education that universities offer, when not limited to knowledge transfer and the development of skills, can be an important way to help people and societies flourish. The Center carries out and disseminates research about what liberal education can bring to people and societies, from the perspective of the development of character and professional ethics.
The Center aims to create synergies with research groups at the University of Navarra, as well as establish or participate in international networks of researchers. The Center is funded by the Citizenship and Values Foundation.
