Think Global, Act Local: Carnegie Council Announces Global Ethics Day, October 19, 2016
(PRWEB) October 10, 2016 -- Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs announces its third annual Global Ethics Day (#globalethicsday2016) on October 19, 2016.
Inspired by Earth Day, Global Ethics Day provides an opportunity for organizations around the world to hold events exploring the meaning of ethics in international affairs.
The Council encourages academic institutions everywhere to use this day to hold programs focusing on ethics, such as lectures, film screenings, debates, or panel discussions. Course and lecture ideas can be found on Carnegie Council's website here, but all ideas are welcome.
In the tradition of a "teach-in" model, these events will be run by each institution as it sees fit while being part of a worldwide Global Ethics Day.
Carnegie Council will promote Global Ethics Day activities on its online community platform and share any resources that are created.
"Although it's only a couple of years old, Global Ethics Day is gaining momentum every year," says Carnegie Council Senior Fellow Devin Stewart. "We hope you'll join us in 2016 and host an event on whatever aspect of global ethics concerns you most. Carnegie Council's slogan is 'Ethics Matter.' Help us make this a reality."
For those planning a Global Ethics Day event, please contact Alex Woodson at awoodson(at)cceia(dot)org so that the organization's name can be added to the list. See the full list here.
