Doing Good

Most of us want to make the world a better place. When we see pointless suffering or injustice, we want to do something about it. But it’s not always clear how we can help, let alone how we can help in the most effective way possible.

That’s where effective altruism comes in. It’s a movement that uses evidence-based research and careful analysis to determine the most effective way to improve the lives of others. Altruism refers to enhancing the welfare of other people rather than ourselves. Effectiveness refers to using reason and evidence to do the most good we can with the limited resources we have.

In this four-week live and online course, Doing Good: An Introduction to Effective Altruism, you’ll discover the principles of effective altruism, sharpen your moral reasoning skills, explore the most pressing existential risks to humanity (such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology), and most importantly, understand how to put everything you learnt into practice.

With instruction from a leading figure in the effective altruism movement, as well as a community of like-minded peers, you’ll finish the course prepared to live more in line with your values and ready to make the world a better place.

And the best part: all proceeds from this course go directly to charity. Start your effective altruism journey now and register below!
