Join us for a full-day seminar exploring the role of ethics in contemporary society. This event is designed for thinkers, students, professionals, and anyone interested in understanding how moral philosophy can guide decision-making in personal, professional, and social contexts.
Program Description:
The seminar will begin at 10:00 AM with an opening session introducing the central themes of the day. Participants will be welcomed by the association’s directors, who will provide context about the importance of ethics in modern society, its historical roots, and its relevance to contemporary issues. This session will include a presentation highlighting key philosophical thinkers, including Aristotle, Kant, and contemporary ethicists, and will set the stage for interactive discussions throughout the day.
From 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, the first interactive workshop will focus on ethical dilemmas in everyday life. Participants will be divided into small groups to discuss scenarios related to professional conduct, digital media ethics, and environmental responsibility. Facilitators will guide participants through reflective exercises, encouraging them to identify ethical principles, explore different viewpoints, and develop reasoned solutions.
A lunch break will take place from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, during which attendees can network, share insights, and continue informal discussions about the morning’s activities.
The afternoon session, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, will feature a panel discussion with invited speakers, including local philosophers, cultural practitioners, and social activists. The panel will address pressing contemporary ethical issues such as climate change, artificial intelligence, and social justice. Audience members will have the opportunity to pose questions, contribute their perspectives, and engage in a dynamic dialogue with the panelists.
The event will conclude from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM with a reflective session where participants will summarize their learning, discuss how the day’s insights can be applied in their own lives, and explore next steps for continuing ethical inquiry and engagement. Attendees will leave with practical tools for critical reflection, a deeper understanding of contemporary ethical challenges, and inspiration to act thoughtfully in their communities.
This event offers a unique opportunity to engage with philosophy and ethics in a hands-on, participatory setting. It emphasizes the connection between intellectual exploration and practical application, reflecting Arc En Ciel Opera’s mission to foster critical thinking, cultural enrichment, and societal improvement.
