4 months of SG Academy and nobody’s lost their mind yet

Lessen uit “De bonobo en de 10 geboden” Moraliteit zit deels in onze bouwstenen verwerkt, dus laten we ook oog hebben voor onze natuurlijke sociale instincten zoals empathie en samenwerken. Het is altijd interessant om te horen wat mensen van onze activiteiten vinden. Lees via deze link een verslag van Frans de Waal’s lezing op […]
