Returning team managers, this video (linked above) is for you! It tells you everything you need to know regarding what’s changed since the 2025 Cup.
Online Training Sessions
In the run-up to the 2025 regionals there were several online information sessions. One was a stand-alone presentation: “Introduction to The Ethics Cup”. The other three ran were a sequence of training sessions run by the very successful former Ethics Cup team manager Michael Cholbi, who drew on his experience to offer tips on
- helping students prepare for the competition elements (Presentation, Commentary, Response, Dialogue),
- dividing up labour and working as a team,
- handling ethical theories and principles, and
- anticipating objections and questions.
All recordings/materials are below.
