Effective Altruism

Effective altruism is a philosophy and social movement that applies evidence and reason in determining the most effective ways to improve the world. Effective Altruists are concerned with questions such as: To which charity should I donate in order to have the greatest effect? What causes are most worthy of my time and attention?

MQ Model United NationsThe Macquarie Model United Nations Society is a group of students who are passionate about international affairs and global politics. We participate in Model United Nations conferences, to gain a real insight on the hard and rewarding work that international delegates and diplomats do everyday to ensure that our world is thriving in all respects. We also give Macquarie University students and Sydney school students the tools and means to ask the bigger questions about the international society that we live in and how we as individuals can make a bigger difference than we may have first thought.
