2025 Senior Training Day

2025 Training Clinic

FOR SENIOR SCHOOL STUDENTS & COACHES 

(15-18 years old students)

Eth-letes and coaches

March 10th, 12th, 13th (FULL) or 14th 2025

(Junior and Middle School Training days will be held in August.)

We run training clinics for Senior students each year and the feedback from participating coaches and students has been very positive. Most importantly, the extra skills and confidence demonstrated by eth-letes at the Olympiads where students had completed the training were obvious, to coaches and the judging panel.

Please note these training days are not compulsory but the training clinics are tailored to meet the needs of eth-letes (students), and coaches (teachers) as they prepare for an Ethics Olympiad. Participants will explore the same ethical cases as will be used in the Olympiads with specialists in Philosophy and Ethics. The day will involve an intensive in-service via Zoom in Ethics as well as many useful tips for students and coaches. Participants will not only hear from an international panel of experts during the day but also have the opportunity to engage with the judges. Please note that these training clinics are immune to Covid lockdowns as trainees and trainers can if necessary participate from home.

Schools are invited to register students to participate in a training clinic. During the day coaches and eth-letes will observe others preparing for an Ethics Olympiad heat and be involved in practical activities designed to improve skills. We will explore ways to deal with the current case set.
