About this event

Community • Other

What does it mean to live a good life? In this half-day course, we explore key ethical traditions—such as virtue ethics, utilitarianism, and Kantian ethics—and apply them to real-life dilemmas. Participants engage in a reflective exercise on personal integrity and write a personal ethics statement. Through case discussions and critical thinking, this session invites deeper understanding of our moral values and how they inform our choices, character, and relationships.
