Programs & Events
Our Programs and Events provide both local and global opportunities to explore effective altruism through diverse media like readings, videos, podcasts and events. Participants can also engage in weekly discussions and networking events, connecting with like-minded individuals and professionals in the community.
Our programs in Sweden
Each program lasts 6 weeks, (5 sessions and one networking online event) and you’ll have weekly 1.5 hour discussions with a cohort of 3-5 participants and one facilitator. Before attending each discussion, you’ll spend roughly 1-1.5 hours completing a set of readings (and sometimes a brief exercise).
The next round of programs will happen in early 2025 with the course start in February. The round will be announced on our social media and our newsletter.
Latest round in fall 2024 received almost 50 applicants and gathered 4 groups.
