Western Australian Ethics Olympiad

Hosted by the Curtin Centre for Applied Ethics

Ethics Begins With a Question.

Learn about the purpose, philosophy and vision of the Western Australian Ethics Olympiad and why collaborative ethical inquiry matters.

More Than a Competition

The Ethics Olympiad is an innovative academic competition where university students explore challenging ethical questions through respectful dialogue and collaborative inquiry.

Unlike traditional debating competitions, participants are encouraged to consider multiple perspectives, ask thoughtful questions and develop well-reasoned responses to complex issues.
