The local chapter offers free introductory courses on parenting, relationships (couples), interpersonal relationships and happiness. It also organizes and conducts roundtables on various social and environmental topics. Mutual Responsibility promotes the concept of interdependence through education and facilitated discussion to create a shift in values away from the old self-centered paradigm to a new interdependent paradigm that can serve as the foundation for a healthy, prosperous and sustainable society in today’s interconnected world.
