Effective Altruism Canberra

Welcome to Effective Altruism Canberra!

Effective Altruism (EA) is a growing social movement founded on the desire to make the world as good a place as it can be, the use of evidence and reason to find out how to do so, and the audacity to actually try.

We ask questions such as: which causes are most worthy of our time and attention? Which charities should we donate to in order to do the most good? How can we build ethical, high-impact careers?

To learn more about “Effective Altruism”, the best place to start is probably the TED talk 'The Why and How of Effective Altruism' by renowned philosopher Peter Singer.
If the ideas resonate with you, come along to one of our events! We regularly hold online and face-to-face discussions about personal productivity, ethics & causes, careers advice, and many other EA topics.

In the meantime, you can also check out 80000.org (careers advice), and givewell.org (charity reviews and recommendations).
