The Effective Altruism Intro Program is an intensive and rewarding 8-week programme starting October 2nd. Every week consists of reading and discussion on themes like effective career choices, empathy, global health, forecasting and existential risks. We are looking for fellows who will not be content with doing some good, but instead have the ambition and drive to do the most good they can.
Effective Altruism is a global community and movement striving to find out how we can use our resources to help others the most. The Finnish Effective Altruism community has local university groups operating in University of Helsinki, Aalto University, and Tampere University and city groups in Jyväskylä and Kuopio. In addition to the Effective Altruism Finland Intro Program, we also host a range of events and activities for the wider Effective Altruism community, including discussion events, workshops, and career advising.

About Taekwon-do:
Taekwon-do is a fast-paced Korean martial art that can be used for defence and offence. This martial art is especially famous for its diversity of kicking techniques and suits people from different groups of age, both as a competitive and general fitness sport.
Taekwon-do develops physical features of the body, such as coordination, agility, mobility and general fitness level. Additionally, it improves focus, perseverance and self-confidence in facing new challenges.
Taekwon-do can roughly be divided into six forms: basic techniques, patterns, sparring, special techniques, power breaking and self-defence. Further information about Taekwon-do’s forms can be found from Internation Taekwon-do Federation’s or Finnish ITF Federation’s website:
