The Power of Fairness – John Rawls

Discover John Rawls’ ideas on fairness through creative activities that inspire inclusive decision-making and a more just world!

Why Choose This Course?

Join us as we dive into the world of John Rawls, a philosopher who believed that fairness should guide how we make decisions in society. The course begins with a video set in Iceland, where students will learn how democratic values align with Rawls’ concept of fairness. Students will then explore areas in their schools where equality may be lacking and develop strategies to improve fairness. Through interactive projects like creating posters and designing a comic strip, students will bring Rawls’ ideas to life and learn how to apply them to everyday situations.
