About this Event

Can we improve the quality of public discourse by teaching the ethics surrounding discussion and debate in schools? Dr Ben Sachs-Cobbe, political philosopher at St Andrews University draws on his experience with The Ethics Cup and discusses how we might bring civic virtues into schools with philosophers Dr Aline Nardo and Dr Enrico Galvagni (University of Edinburgh).

There will be plenty of time for questions and your participation in the discussion alongside a drink.
