Abstract

Spend an hour or two of your time doing whatever will most improve the world! The most important part of trying to make the world a better place is the part where you actually do it, so this is an event for that.

Whether you’ve just heard a little bit about 80,000 Hours/Giving What We Can/Effective Altruism and would like to get more involved and find out what small actions you can take to improve the world, or you’re a seasoned EA who just needs a bit of motivation to get around to that high-impact project, you should come along! We’ve made a list of possible actions at http://bit.ly/EffectiveActionsWorksheet, ranging from very small 5-minute tasks for people who are completely new to the ideas to big projects, and everything in between. They cover areas such as careers, giving, making better decisions, self-improvement and community-building.

Drop in for as long or as short as you want. If possible, please bring a laptop, as many of the actions will require Internet connectivity.

There will be drinks and snacks, and hopefully an encouraging atmosphere of people exchanging advice and motivating each other to Actually Do Stuff!

There may well be some socialising afterwards :)
