Practical Ethics and Responsibility Competition
"How am I responsible for the environment? Should there be limits on how we can punish people who do wrong? If very ill patients want to die, should doctors be held responsible if they help them? Who is responsible for the global spread of infectious diseases?"
If these and other questions about our responsibilities towards each other, our planet and our future make you think, then this competition is for you!
At the Uehiro Oxford Institute we think a lot about responsibility and how we can all do more to tackle some of the biggest ethical problems facing us today. We invite school students in Year 11, 12 or 13 (S4-S6 in Scotland, Years 12-14 in Northern Ireland) to take part in our UK-wide Practical Ethics and Responsibility Competition by making a video to tell us about an ethical problem and how you think responsibility is involved.
The 2027 PERC competition is now open, with a deadline of final entries by 4th January 2027. Full details of the competition plus the terms and conditions are available on the How to take part page and you can see video entries of previous years on the Past winners pages or on our YouTube Channel.
