DID YOU KNOW THAT OCTOBER 19 IS GLOBAL ETHICS DAY? WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?
Waking up in the morning and going to class, helping out your classmate is an ethical action. On a bigger scale, do you happen to think about challenges that humanity faces today, i.e attacks on democracy, racial injustice, surveillance or climate change? Maybe you want to identify a subject for social activism that matters most to you. Then, we strongly advise you to join Ethics in the Classroom: Empowering the Next Generation, on Oct.4th at 21.00 by our time (KGT, UTC+6) to learn how to raise awareness and work toward addressing the most critical issues facing society.
