Global Ethics Day
Global Ethics Day is an annual worldwide event celebrated in October. Founded by Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs in 2014 to celebrate its centennial, Global Ethics Day is an opportunity for institutions around the world to hold their own events, such as lectures, film screenings, debates, and panel discussions, in order to explore the role of ethics in a globalized world. In the tradition of a "teach-in" model, events are run by each organization as it sees fit, while being part of a worldwide Global Ethics Day.

Participants so far have included universities, military academies, business associations, and more. They are encouraged to post their activities on Carnegie Council’s community website, www.globalethicsnetwork.org. Starting in 2018, its fifth year, Global Ethics Day will always be held on the third Wednesday of October. In 2018, Global Ethics Day will be held on Wednesday October 17, 2018.
