The topic: Ethics & Morality

Is it okay to tell a small lie to avoid hurting someone’s feelings?
Would you report a friend who did something illegal?
Is it okay to cheat on a test or exam?

Is it okay to use AI or technology to cheat if no one finds out?
Should companies use people’s personal data if it’s for “their benefit”?
Is it ethical to watch pirated movies or download music illegally?

Would you sacrifice one person to save five others?
Is it ever okay to break the law for a good reason?
Is it ethical to eat meat if it harms animals?

Should rich countries help poor countries even if it costs them a lot?
Should people always follow cultural or religious rules, even if they disagree?

In every event, we start with networking in pairs. Many people compare it to dating parties, but they don’t realise that this format appeared much earlier as a tool for ice-breaking, communication and business training. The idea is not just to meet someone new, but to help people start conversations, feel more comfortable around strangers and build meaningful connections.

We always finish with Alias game. Many people see it simply as a fun game, but it’s actually a great way to practise English in a more spontaneous way. You have to explain words without using them directly, think quickly, find different ways to express an idea and understand your teammates. It helps develop vocabulary, fluency, creativity, quick thinking and communication skills — while having a lot of fun.
