The Four-Way Test is an ethical-decision making tool for our use. But why keep it to ourselves. The world needs ethical minded people. Let’s share stories of how we have used the Four-Way Test in our lives.
Attached is a
2:11 minute video explaining the Four-Way Test Stories Activity.
Please show it at your next meeting and discuss it. Not sure how to do the story? The attached invitation provides directions. Also. there are examples of stories posted on
Rotary5960.org. Look for the link on the home page. The first
10 submitters will earn a VISA gift card to use in their communities. Let’s have fun with this activity.
Why should we share Four-Way Test stories?
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?
1) Post the stories on your social media. Visitors are attracted to the Four-Way Test.
2) Share it with youth. Perhaps include Four-Way Test training in your youth activities /projects.
3) During a meeting, have "table talks” or break out rooms about the Four-Way Test. Have members share how they have use it.
4) Include in the vocational talks a discussion of ethics in their businesses.
5) Ask speakers to share the ethical challenges faced in their business or organization.
7) Make this activity a fun topic. Be the first club to submit a video recording or a written story.
We are looking forward to hearing your stories. The first 10 Stories submitted in the month of March will receive a Visa Gift Card to use to support local businesses.
