About this Event
IMPORTANT: Joining our discussions is 100% free, but we gather at a fantastic public cafe that expects guests to purchase food or drink - we ask everyone to buy at least £4 worth of food/drink (e.g. a tea, coffee, drink and snack) after you arrived. No outside food or drinks are allowed. Please read our directions carefully to find us as the venue.
Enjoy deeper conversations with people from around the world? Want to make real friends while learning and exchanging perspectives on any topic? Every Tuesday night we get together for an open, constructive and stimulating discussion around a key topic (anything in politics, society, culture, philosophy or just life in general) with a focus on learning and finding solutions.
