Giving Voice to Values
Give students the confidence to act on their values.
Giving Voice to Values (GVV) is an approach to ethics education that moves past “what is the right thing to do?” to the harder question: “how do I act on my values effectively?”
Through the network’s GVV Africa program, faculty adapt case studies and classroom practice so students rehearse voicing and acting on their convictions before they meet the pressure to stay silent.
How GVV works in the classroom
01
Start from values
Students begin with what they believe, then practice voicing it in realistic scenarios.
02
Rehearse the response
Case-based exercises let students script and refine how they would act under pressure.
03
Build the habit
Repeated practice turns good intentions into confident, values-driven action.
GVV Africa
Take the practice further with GVV Africa.
GVV Africa is the network’s self-paced online course on values-driven action — seven modules built around African case studies, video interviews, and the rehearsal exercises at the heart of the GVV method. It is open to students, professionals, and faculty preparing to bring GVV to their own campuses.
