We have all had arguments with friends, family, colleagues or strangers about what is right and wrong – and many of those conversations have probably not gone well.
Why is it so hard to discuss ethical questions? Can we learn to disagree better? Is it possible to have an argument without losing friends? This workshop will uncover the complexities of disagreement and provide tried and tested tips to help you engage with different perspectives in good faith, and maybe even change some minds while you are at it.
This intimate, in person session will be fun, playful and interactive where we hope to unlock the wisdom in the room as well as leave with new insights. You’ll meet other curious people, who are willing to delve deeper into the mess and complexity of what it means to be human.
Places are very limited to ensure everyone can participate.
So, tune in to tune up and hopefully we can all do life just that little bit better.

About the series
Ethics Tune Up is an innovative and engaging masterclass series from The Ethics Centre that will take your ethical skills to the next level. These workshops are an opportunity to extend your knowledge of ethics and learn how you can apply these principles in your life.
Facilitated by leading philosopher Dr Tim Dean, these two-hour workshops will be equally enjoyable and informative as they help you navigate today’s complex ethical terrain and guide you towards living a good life. There are no prerequisites to join!
This session is part of our Sydney series including Ethics 101 (7 or 8 May) and How to Live a Good Life (21 or 22 May). Book a multipack and save on experiencing all three sessions. Completed these already? New workshops will be released later this year.
