IBAVI WEbsite (opens in a new tab)

In 2022, the University of Canberra, became the first Australian IBAVI partner, joining other institutional chapters in Chile, England, India, Japan, Spain, Sweden, and the USA.

The International Beliefs and Values Institute (IBAVI) is a non-profit and non-partisan organisation that aims to address real-world issues and promote:

  • conflict resolution
  • global education
  • human rights
  • religious and cultural understanding
  • sustainability

through interdisciplinary research, education, advocacy and professional exchange. IBAVI's mission is to explore beliefs and values and how they influence actions, policies, and practices around the world.

The Faculty of Education is proud to have facilitated this important relationship.
