Every child matters- Motivating young people throughout the world, to enhance their intellectual, emotional, social and ethical skills
I was delighted and honoured when Rosemary Dewan, Chief Executive, Human Values Foundation (HVF) invited me to consider becoming a Patron of the Foundation. The mission and work of the Human Values Foundation is very close to my heart. Their values are mine too; the values that we have been championing at the GCGI since 2002.
Therefore, it was with great pleasure that I accepted the invitation to be a Patron of the Human Values Foundation.
The Human Values Foundation is a highly regarded supplier of transformational values-themed teaching resources for successful educationalists throughout the world. For nearly two decades it has enabled teachers and others mentoring and guiding children and young people to provide a truly inspiring, holistic education. The engaging pupil-centred resources help to develop the whole person – heightening individuals’ mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing.
I am very much looking forward to collaborating with Rosemary, my fellow Patron, Michael Morpurgo, and the Foundation’s Education Advisor, Sir Anthony Seldon, and the rest of the team, championing the Human Values Foundation’s cause and vision.

WELCOME TO PROFESSOR KAMRAN MOFID AS A PATRON
‘We are delighted to welcome as a Patron of the Human Values Foundation, Professor Kamran Mofid, the founder of Globalisation for the Common Good Initiative. (GCGI: www.gcgi.info).
In 1986 he was awarded his doctorate in economics from the University of Birmingham. From 1980 to 2000 he was Economic Teaching Assistant, Tutor, Lecturer and Senior Lecturer at the Universities of Windsor (Canada), Birmingham, Bristol, Wolverhampton and Coventry (UK). However, after realising a much more humane approach was needed, he became a student again and in 2001 he received a Certificate in Education in Pastoral Studies from PlaterCollege, Oxford.
Kamran Mofid's work is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on Economics, Business, Politics, International Relations, Theology, Culture, Ecology, Ethics and Spirituality. His writings have appeared in leading scholarly journals, popular magazines and newspapers.
Born in Iran, his books include Development Planning in Iran: From Monarchy to Islamic Republic, The Economic Consequences of the Gulf War, Globalisation for the Common Good, Business Ethics, Corporate Social Responsibility and Globalisation for the Common Good, Promoting the Common Good (with Rev. Dr. Marcus Braybrooke, 2005) and A Non-Violent Path to Conflict Resolution and Peace Building (co-authored, 2008).
With the promotion of uplifting values being close to his heart, Kamran certainly appreciates what we are striving to achieve. We look forward to Professor Mofid supporting and championing our cause as a Patron and we wish him every success and much happiness from being an excellent Ambassador for the Human Values Foundation.’
