Intro to Effective Altruism: A Trivia Night (Brussels)

Have you heard of effective altruism and wondered what it’s actually about? This evening is made for you.

Effective altruism (EA) is about asking a simple question: how can I do the most good with the time and money I have? It means using evidence and clear thinking to work out which problems matter most and which solutions work best, from global health to animal welfare to the long-term future.

Instead of a lecture, we’ll introduce the ideas through a trivia game. Each round covers one core idea, and a short explanation after each round shows you how it all fits together. You don’t need any background, and nobody will quiz you on anything you couldn’t guess.
