Drawing on a strong volunteer base, the advancement and implementation of Living Values Education has been historically supported by UNESCO and a host of other organizations, agencies, governmental bodies, foundations, community groups and individuals. It is part of the global movement of the United Nations International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World. ALIVE groups together national bodies promoting Living Values Education and is an independent organization that does not have any particular or exclusive religious, political or national affiliation or interest. [13]   In 2001, LVE's series of five books won 'The Teachers' Choice Award' by "Learning Magazine",[5] a national publication in the USA for teachers and educators. This series of three age group (3–7, (8–14), (Young Adults) activity books have all been re-edited in 2019 and are publicly available through Amazon. Separate special programmes exist for children at risk including refugees and Children Affected by War (LVARCAW), street children, [6] youth in need of drug rehabilitation and young offenders. The Ministry of Labor in Vietnam noted in March 2008 that LVE’ drug rehabilitation program was the most successful drug rehab program in government rehabilitation clinics in the country. [13]   New initiatives introduced in 2019 widen the reach of LVE through distance facilitator training programs, increased regional gatherings of ALIVE membership, a much detailed website offering extended resource of downloadable materials covering a wide-ranging application of values aspects. ^ Tillman, Diane (2001).
