Global Ethics Day—Carnegie Council Teach-In

On the occasion of its 2014 Centennial anniversary, Carnegie Council has facilitated a multi-year exploration of a "global ethic." These activities will culminate in a week of events in New York City, including a day of workshops at City College of New York on October 16, 2014, which Carnegie Council is designating as its inaugural Global Ethics Day.

Academic institutions around the world are encouraged to use this day to hold their own events, such as lectures, film screenings, debates, panel discussions, or another educational activity to explore a "global ethic" as well. In the tradition of a "teach-in" model, these events would be run by each institution as it sees fit while being part of a worldwide Global Ethics Day.

Carnegie Council will promote your activities on its website and share any resources that are created among its Global Ethics Network. Course and lecture ideas can be found on Carnegie Council's website. Carnegie Council's Ethics on Film series is also a great resource for teaching suggestions connected to popular movies.
