COURSE CONTENT

The course and its reasons

New subject-matter can only be transmitted through new means. It is not a traditional course, but a well-constructed approach to a new set of skills, which takes advantage of various training instruments, methods and techniques. Approach and preparation material for the subject-matter to be covered in class will be made available to attendees on the web site before each module. The teaching staff will also provide original material reserved for the attendees during the class or via web. Before each guest seminar, the tutor will coordinate preparatory work in the classroom to define the subjects and key questions to put to the speakers, according to the topic of the day. The approach and replies received will be analysed critically after the seminars, possibly with further online research. Groups of four or five attendees will be formed for teamwork exercises. Each group will choose an “Ethical Maturity” topic to develop over the entire course, using – among other things – remote training instruments. Attendees present a short dissertation during the final module: they take on the role of Ethics Officer, present their individual or team work to the Scientific Ethics Committee, and receive their certificate as a mark of having completed their work.

ENROLMENT DETAILS

The course aims to strengthen the attendees’ awareness and knowledge of ethics in the workplace, and teach them the skills (the instruments) they need in order to coordinate and manage their company’s ethical project, and report to the BoD or CEO. The Ethics Officer must know how to take certain specific responsibilities and manage potentially difficult situations involving mediation and reports of incorrect behaviour, sometimes having to take unpopular decisions. It is a role that requires maturity, common sense, confidence and – of course – the integrity typical of people who believe in ethical commitment. It is not AssoEtica’s aim to enrol attendees indiscriminately (which would be in contrast with all ethical criteria and its own bylaws), but to approve applications from candidates with a clear and fervent vision of what they will be offered during the year, bearing in mind the appreciable commitment in terms of time and money. The course content must be in line with their personal and professional growth objectives. For this reason, there is a compulsory in-depth meeting at the Association’s offices before final enrolment so that we can get to know each other.
