Teen Socrates Seminar
November 8-10, 2024
The Aspen Institute offers its Teen Socrates Seminar each year to teens between the ages of 15-17 from the Roaring Fork and Colorado River valleys, and beyond. Students convene to take part in this transformational experience and come away with a new perspective on their lives, their futures, and society.
The three-day seminar is dedicated to enhancing leadership, problem solving, and critical thinking skills for high school students in a setting conducive to thought and fellowship. Students are challenged to think more critically and deeply about their values and ideas, and those that make the good society. Our proven method of text-based dialogue offers participants a neutral forum in which to reflect on timeless human values, pursue common ground, and cultivate a richer understanding of the human condition. Participants emerge from the seminar with a new perspective as they confront the difficult choices of our ever-changing world.
Each seminar convenes a dynamic group of students for lively, intensive roundtable discussions led by expert moderator Allyson Breyfogle. Classic and contemporary texts reflecting the breadth of human civilization form the starting points of a rich conversation in which the questions posed by the group are frequently as illuminating as the varied, timeless wisdom of the texts.
The Aspen Institute is committed to bringing together students with diverse backgrounds and perspectives which adds depth and richness to the dialogue. This program is generously underwritten by the Wall Family Foundation.

Seminario Sócrates para Adolescentes
Del 8 a 10 de noviembre de 2024 | Biblioteca de Rifle

El Aspen Institute ofrece cada año su Seminario Sócrates para Adolescentes a los jóvenes de entre 15 y 17 años de los valles de los ríos Roaring Fork y Colorado, y más allá. Los estudiantes se reúnen para participar en esta experiencia transformadora y salen de ella con una nueva perspectiva sobre sus vidas, su futuro y la sociedad.
El seminario de tres días está dedicado a potenciar el liderazgo, la resolución de problemas y las habilidades de pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes de preparatoria en un entorno propicio para el pensamiento y el compañerismo. Se reta a los estudiantes a pensar de forma más crítica y profunda sobre sus valores e ideas, y los que conforman la buena sociedad. Nuestro probado método de diálogo basado en textos ofrece a los participantes un foro neutral en el que puedan reflexionar sobre valores humanos intemporales, buscar puntos en común y cultivar una comprensión más rica de la condición humana. Los participantes salen del seminario con una nueva perspectiva para enfrentarse a las difíciles decisiones de nuestro mundo en constante cambio.
Cada seminario reúne a un dinámico grupo de estudiantes para mantener animadas e intensas mesas redondas dirigidas por la experta moderadora Allyson Breyfogle. Textos clásicos y contemporáneos que reflejan la amplitud de la civilización humana forman los puntos de partida de una rica conversación en la que las preguntas planteadas por el grupo son a menudo tan esclarecedoras como la variada sabiduría intemporal de los textos.
El Aspen Institute se compromete a reunir a estudiantes con diversos orígenes y perspectivas, lo que añade profundidad y riqueza al diálogo. Este programa está generosamente subvencionado por la Wall Family Foundation.
