Hey there! We are a German/English speaking community of students aiming to apply the principles of effective altruism (EA) to find the best ways to help others, and put them into practice. As we begin to rebuild our community in the summer semester of 2024, we want to explore career paths that align with our values and goals.

Applications for the Introductory-Program is open until Sunday, 12.05.2024.

The four-week intro program on effective altruism will help you identify particularly promising problem areas and interventions linked to the questions “how to improve the world” and “what will really make a difference?”. Through close exchange with fellow participants, experienced moderators, and personalized 1-1 sessions, you will cultivate innovative ideas and explore possible next steps, enhancing your capacity to contribute meaningfully to global improvements.

Discussions will be held in German or English as decided by each group. Written communication and reading materials are in English.

The programme provides a basis for further programmes and enables participation in nationwide events lasting several days, such as conferences. Feel very welcome to join uns!

Requirements: Interest in the question: “How can we do the most good?”; Curiosity and critical thinking; Moderate understanding of the English language (written communication and resources are in English)

The four-week EA Introductory Program aims to introduce people who are not familiar with effective altruism core principles and ideas. It often consists of 1-1.5hr readings that participants will complete in their own time, and weekly discussion groups of 4-6 people that are moderated by someone who is more experienced.

If you have questions, are interested in volunteering or if we can do anything else for you, don't hesitate to contact us!

We also offer 1:1s to get to know you better and see how we can help you (:
