The Ethics of Being Young

The Ethics of Being Young: A special presentation in partnership with Sydney Theatre Company 

DATE & TIME
Thursday 21 November
6pm – 7pm AEDT 

LOCATION
Wharf 2 Theatre, Sydney Theatre Company, The Wharf, 15 Hickson Rd, Dawes Point

It’s never been easier or harder to be a young person. While the standard of living for most people under 30 is far better today than it was 50 or 100 years ago, young people are entering a world that is divided, unstable and with a radically changing climate.

The Ethics Centre’s Senior Philosopher Dr Tim Dean will be joined by two special guests, including actor and playwright Emmanuelle Mattana (Trophy Boys, STC Watershed writer) and young thinker Phaedra Carantinos to explore what it means to be a young person today. Who are young people expected to be? Can they have a positive impact on the world they’re set to inherit, when facing their own growing crises in conflict, climate, mental health, misuse of technology, sexism, racism, and a morally charged society quick to punish those who misspeak?

This special presentation offers fans a chance to experience The Ethics of... in the fresh, inspiring surrounds of Sydney Theatre Company, to coincide with their season of Broadway smash hit Dear Evan Hansen.

Please note:

About The Ethics Of

‘The Ethics of…’ is an event series where we freely examine the experiences, hopes and challenges that make us truly human; from the good to the bad and everything in between. Each event is an intimate conversation, led by a philosopher, with opportunities for the audience to share their experiences, views and learn from each other. Join us for this important and interactive event, held both in person and livestreamed, about the ways we connect with each other.
