Socrates Cafe
We meet on 3rd Tuesday of the month
Socrates Café is a structured discussion group. Each participant is asked to submit a topic, two are selected by a democratic vote. The discussion begins with the person whose topic was chosen and continues until each person has had a chance to speak uninterrupted for a few minutes. Further discussion is encouraged but participants are asked to wait for recognition by the leader before speaking. This structure ensures that no one member dominates the group. Topics in the past have included social issues, political and current affairs, art and culture. A time for tea/coffee and chat is included between the topics. Participants are asked to make a contribution of £1 per session, if possible, towards the refreshments.
To join - contact the group leader - details are in the study group booklet or email through the link on our Contacts page.
