The calm and affirming setting of Ultiqa
Resort in Pacific Harbour was the perfect setting for the Leaders Retreat
organized by CLCT Integrity Fiji for the College of Humanities and Education
(Fiji National University)
The Retreat looked at how ethics, good
governance, anti-corruption values and integrity can be integrated in a
seamless way into the Faculty of Humanities & Education Corporate Plan 2022 to create better synergies with CLCT Integrity Fiji.
A highlight of the Retreat was the Round Table
Discussions with the Minister of Education, Heritage and Arts (MEHA) Honorable
Pramila Kumar and her senior officials. Ethics and good governance were
key components of the exchanges. They were pleasantly surprised to hear about
the constructive partnership between CLCT Integrity Fiji and the Faculty. The
discussions centred around MEHA Policies on Teacher Education and strategies
for the School of Education to optimize its programmes of producing graduates
who are imbued with both the pedagogical and personal values to
be effective classroom practitioners able to deal with external variables
that impact on students learning.
A key outcome of the Retreat was the
collaboration on research and CSR activities with CLCT Integrity Fiji.
They include the following initiatives –
- School of Social Science (Dr M Alam) Research
on University Students Perceptions of Transparency and Integrity
- Dept of Ethics & Integrity plan to turn
the highly successful MOOC anti-corruption course into a paid short course
- Explore how Integrity Fiji can work with SoE
on the BA in Sports from the angle of Sports Integrity to market the degree
(with Integrity Fiji's partners in the Fiji Sports Commission and Ministry of
Youth and Sports)
- Work with Dept of Creative Arts (and Dept of
Environment and Landowner) on Clean Up and placing of Signage on the popular Mt
Korobaba hiking route.
- Support various activities of CHE in CSR,
Climate Change etc.
- Continue working with SoE on the Trainee
Teachers Leadership Program (and exploring areas of cooperation on the Enrichment
program possibly with Girl Guides, Scouts, etc
- Support the Launch of the Global Corruption
Barometer on Nov 17 and the International Anti-Corruption Day on Dec 9.
The Retreat also had its fun moments when
Integrity Fiji reps, Elsie Pickering and Shalom Tehillati organised a highly
entertaining fun night!
