The Rotary Four-Way Test is an ethical-decision making tool, but why keep it to ourselves? The world needs ethical-minded people, so let’s share stories of how we have used the Four-Way Test in our lives.
Watch the two minute YouTube video which explains District 5960's Ethics Committee's Four-Way Test Stories activity. Not sure how to share your story? Read on! Need an example? There are examples of stories posted on Rotary5960.org and look for the link on the home page.
Why should you share your Four-Way Test story? The Four Way test, the Rotary Code of Ethics, the 7 Areas of Focus, the Peace Ambassadors, and our Rotary Vision are all focused on acting in an ethical manner. We need to be bold and share our commitment to building a better, more ethical world so that - - - Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
How can we use the Four-Way Test stories?
