The Ethics Olympiad cultivates the virtues central to democratic citizenship, and prepares students to navigate challenging moral issues in a systematic and open-minded way. High School Ethics Olympiads involve either online events or face to face events. Up to 40 teams can be at a meeting to participate in a day of exploring ethical issues together. At the end of the day medals are awarded to schools that draw clear considered conclusions, address issues with a good understanding of multiple perspectives and where they respond well to critiques of their argument. Likewise, school groups can meet online at a designated time to suit both schools. The students explore interesting and relevant ethical cases using a format designed to promote respectful dialogue. High School students are normally aged between 14 and 17 years old.
