Doing Good or Looking Good? The Social Side of Altruism

📅 Date: Tuesday, April 8th
🕕 Time: 18:30 - 21:00
📍 Location: University of Bern, Main Building, Hochschulstrasse 4
📚 Room: 212

🌱 Why do we do good? Is it truly about impact, or do we also seek social recognition? In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore how social status and morality are connected—how being seen as "good" influences our choices and how concepts like virtue signaling and moral prestige shape altruistic behavior.

🔎 What to expect:

Thought-provoking discussions on the role of social recognition in doing good
A critical look at virtue signaling, moral spectacle, and the EA movement’s relationship with status
Reflective exercises to examine our own motivations for altruism

Whether you're deeply involved in Effective Altruism or just curious about the psychology behind doing good, this workshop offers a space to reflect, challenge assumptions, and gain new insights.
