On Friday, 8th April TY and 5th year Classics students attended a Philosophy workshop provided by the Philosophy department in UCD this morning in Ballyroan library.
It was an excellent workshop in which the students fully engaged with Philosophical questions around human behaviour focusing on how we behave in groups and what causes competition in a group. The students chose to focus on Naure Vs Nurture.
