The Ethical Grand Challenges: Understand the issues that matter 

“Following on from the Sustainability Challenge in your first year, you will have the opportunity to explore Social Justice in your second year and then Workplace Ethics in your third and final years.To make the Ethical Grand Challenges count towards The Stellify Award you need to complete all 3 challenges, one in each year of study.” 

Year 1: The challenge takes place on day 2 of Welcome Week and is a 2.5 hour group exercise. If you miss the Sustainability Challenge please contact egc@manchester.ac.uk 

 

 

Year 2: The challenge is an online activity which you access via Blackboard. It takes about 50 minutes to complete. You can complete the challenge at any point in your second year and you don’t have to complete it all in one go. 

 

Year 3: You will have the option of attending one or a range of 2.5 hour interdisciplinary workshops, offered throughout the academic year. Alternatively you can complete a more general, cross sector, online Workplace Ethics Challenge.
