Effective Altruism In Perth
We are an open community of people dedicated to doing good better.
We host this community so that people with the same values can connect, collaborate, network, learn and take action.
We hold social events, important discussions and run workshops in the Perth area.
What Is Effective Altruism?
Effective altruism (EA) is a research field and practical community that aims to find the best ways to help others, and put them into practice.
In practice, we usually use our careers, donations and advocacy to effectively address problems that are global, severe, neglected and solvable.
To learn more, read the introduction article, watch the introduction video or listen to the introduction podcast playlist.
Upcoming Events
See our planned events on our events page. Follow our Facebook page or Meetup page to receive notifications about new events.
We run social events, discussion groups and workshops.
Our events are designed to help you engage with EA concepts, make action-plans and connect with like-minded individuals.
We look forward to meeting you!
“Effective altruism is not a package of particular views. It's about using evidence and careful reasoning to try to do more good.
What science is to the pursuit of the truth, EA is, or at least aspires to be, to the pursuit of the good.”
— William MacAskill
