The financial system has provided humankind with obvious benefits. But as time went by the system also developed into a single dimension of our human reality, abusive, dictatorial, competitive and unethical. This has developed into unprecedented tension, not only at societal or ecological level but also within the scope of our natural human values, our mental, physical and emotional resilience. Having positioned my own stir research foundation and related activities fully at the side of core human values, the impact of that forced single dimension became visible. A visibility that remained obscured when emerged fully in the functioning of the system. Only the symptoms were increasingly visible, treated by the financial system as a costly problem rather than displaying empathy and self reflection of being part of the cause. The system does not provide with an alternative, but humankind does, placing the financial world at a less dominant position, as a means, not a goal.

By doing so, the entire human reality transforms, applying multiple dimensions to our daily activities. We see this happening all over the world as an evolutionary process of humankind. This equally leads to attempts to include values in our educational activities. Worldwide I try to interact with like minded scholars that do research in the field, complementing my own empirical experiences with statistics. Interesting research was published recently by Wai Chun Cherry Au from Hong Kong who teaches values to a group of students with whom I had the opportunity to interact online.
