WFWP Russia - Compass of Conscience: Inspiring Young People Through Moral Education

From 26–28 September 2026, the Women’s Federation for World Peace held its second master class on moral values, “Compass of Conscience,” in Moscow. The programme brought together 40 participants from across Russia, representing 13 schools, to exchange experiences, develop young lecturers, and explore important social issues affecting young people.

The master class focused on four key topics: promoting respectful language, preventing bullying, encouraging a healthy lifestyle, and building strong family relationships.

A highlight of the programme was the opportunity for participants to visit three schools in Moscow and the surrounding region, where they delivered presentations alongside experienced mentors. For many, this was their first experience speaking to students about moral values and social challenges.

The presentations made a meaningful impact. One teacher reported that, following a discussion about bullying, students involved in a recent conflict embraced each other. Another student shared that the lecture had inspired them to stop using foul language, highlighting the power of personal stories and real-life experiences.

The growing interest in “Compass of Conscience” reflects the importance of equipping young people with the confidence and skills to become positive role models.

Through education, dialogue, and practical experience, the Women’s Federation for World Peace continues to empower young people to make responsible choices, build healthy relationships, and contribute to a more compassionate society.
