VIRTUES PROJECT WORKSHOPS ~ CALGARY 2010
The Virtues Project™ is a simple, effective strengths-based, positive, proactive
program, which helps us to live kinder, more purposeful lives, to raise children of
integrity and compassion, create a culture of character and caring in our schools, and
inspire excellence in the workplace.
“The Virtues Project™ Educator’s Guide” and the videos, “VIRTUES: A Family Affair” are approved
resources by Alberta Education. The Virtues Project™ has been honored by the United Nations.
Alberta Education released a document entitled “The Heart of the Matter”, which lists the Virtues
Project™ as a model program for character education and citizenship in Alberta schools. Go to
