News item

Imagine: you are standing at a railway switch and a tram is approaching. There are five people lying on the tracks in front of you. The tram is about to run them over. But if you switch the points, the tram will continue on the track where only one person is lying. Come to the workshop led by ethicist Liz Groen and think together about what you would do.

Saturday, 07 March 2026  | 19.40 - 20.05 hrs |tbd (20 p.) | De Lindenberg, Nijmegen 

Would you flip the switch? Would that make you a murderer or a hero?

Philosopher Liz Groen is the workshop leader. 

The workshop is in Dutch.
