This discussion group covers all sorts of current events and hot topics, with an annual theme. This year we will be looking at the “big picture” view of world events and social trends, attempting to find commonalities and logical conclusions. The spheres we generally cover during the year include politics, culture, economics, environment, business, health and education. This year will be like re-visiting the “Think Globally/Act Locally” movement.
After coffee/tea at 10:00 am, we view a selection of short videos on the topic of the day, so these meetings are limited to an indoor setting with TV and internet, generally Kristina’s house. Discussion follows, usually quite lively, considering our different backgrounds and individual perspectives. Twice in the fall and twice in the spring we plan to meet outdoors if possible.
This discussion group meets the second and fourth Friday mornings of the month, Sept-April (excluding Dec). All meetings/topics are stand-alone, so there’s no need to worry about missing them when you’re traveling or other life events keep you occupied. Our first meeting will be on Friday, September 8th at 10 am, at Kristina’s home. Even if you haven’t come before, join us that day and meet some new friends!
To join this group, please contact the convenors – Kristina Nilsson or Sarica Sion.
