Adding to the insights accumulated in preparation for our upcoming photo contest, the Irish Association of Non Governmental Development Organisations, Dochas, offers a Code of Conduct on Images and Messages. The Code of Conduct provides tools to support practitioners in communicating their messages in meaningful  and ethical ways. Code signatories recognize that “values of human dignity, respect and truthfulness as outlined in the Code, must underlie all communications.” Perhaps such a code should exist among university civic engagement, alternative break, or global education programs.

Stay tuned by signing up for email updates on the right, or following us on Twitter or Facebook.

globalsl.org is supported by a network of universities and has recently received support from the Henry Luce Foundation.

This initiative is therefore made possible in part through the generous support of the Henry Luce Foundation, which is dedicated to encouraging the highest standards of service and leadership. The Henry Luce Foundation seeks to bring important ideas to the center of American life, strengthen international understanding, and foster innovation and leadership in academic, policy, religious and art communities.
