Ethical Capability is a vital part of the Victorian Curriculum. It supports our students to shape who they want to be, how they relate to others and what type of society they want to live in.

Zoos Victoria and RSPCA Victoria have teamed up to organise a free conference that will help you build this capability in primary and secondary students. Empathy, Ethics and Animals is happening on Friday 22 June 2018 at Melbourne Zoo.

You’ll learn:

• Where Ethical Capabilities fits in the curriculum
• Examples of how Zoos Victoria and RSPCA Victoria use ethics to care for animals
• Ideas for integrating Ethical Capabilities into any subject area or year level
• How to build empathy skills and inspire students to be active citizens
• How to access a range of teacher resources and activities that you can use right away

You’ll hang out at Melbourne Zoo for the day and catering is provided. You’ll also receive a certificate for professional development hours.

You’ll hear from a range of principals and teachers. Plus there’s a chance to chat with others about how they teach ethics.

Be part of an education community that is making a difference in education and ensuring that the world is a better place for us and for animals.
