Moral Ambition: Putting your Ideals into Practice

About

What if … we would invest as much talent in solving the world biggest challenges, as the large companies and governments are now investing in growing the economy and maintaining the status quo (rich vs. poor, military vs. soft power, old vs. new leadership)?

This idea is gaining more and more ground all over the world. From role models as Zohran Mamdani to Extinction Rebellion and from Rutger Bregman’s β€˜moral ambition’ to the work of activists and professionals, artists and social entrepreneurs and youth and older citizens around the world.

Ever wonder which role fits you best in the challenge to steer the world in the right direction?

This course focusses on (finding/sharpening) your personal moral ambitions and laying the groundwork to unleashing your individual strengths and talents on the subject you want to dedicate your time, energy and passion to
