Meaningful Discussions Gatherings

The mission of The Meaningful Discussions Project is to explore the art and science of meaningful discussions and to initiate these discussions in cities around the world.
Launched right here in Vancouver, there are regular gatherings in Kitsilano, and at the Steamworks pub in Gastown. You are expected to order food, since the meetings are at restaurants, but the only other cost for entry is $5. Before each event, you are emailed a selection of videos on the topic of the gathering, which you're expected to watch to start stimulating the discussion. Facilitators are volunteer, and they're always looking for more! |
