Doing good better is one of the defining challenges of our time. Given resource constraints, it is crucial that we make the most effective use of what we have in order to create the greatest positive impact possible. And this is essentially what the Horizon Fellowship is all about: The Horizon Fellowship helps you think about how to do good effectively and helps you to reflect on how to maximize your potential to make a difference.
The Horizon Fellowship Program is a 9-week program you can do alongside studies/work, bringing together core readings, interactive group discussions, 1:1 mentoring, and more. We explore topics including effectiveness mindset, global health/ poverty, animal welfare, Artificial Intelligence, etc., and how to get involved in contributing to some of the world’s most pressing problems.
The handbook is structured into 8 chapters, with exercises to help you reflect on your reading throughout.
