Moral Ambition Switzerland: Careers with Purpose

Animal liberation, business profits for social good and support for refugees give the opening talks distinct perspectives on impact. Workshops then bring the question closer to your own talents, priorities and working life.

Bring your questions about making a difference through your work. This first national gathering of the Moral Ambition community in Switzerland brings together people interested in using their careers, businesses, research or resources for a greater positive impact. At Fiul Space, personal stories and practical discussion open up different ways to approach that question.

The preliminary programme begins with welcome talks featuring Alice Fauconnet of New Roots, Casper van der Elst of Profit for Good and Esther Oester of Paxion. Interactive workshops and discussions with Monda Futura and The CheekyLevel follow. There is space to reflect on your career and priorities, meet other participants, share food and drinks, and listen to a live concert.

No prior involvement with the School for Moral Ambition is required. Standard admission costs CHF72 and covers food, soft drinks and event costs. A CHF19 reduced ticket is for anyone who otherwise could not attend; a CHF125 sponsor ticket supports another person's place. Prices include taxes. The programme is preliminary.
