A Socrates Café is an opportunity for dialogue about timeless and timely questions that all human beings deal with in their lives. Harwood Union High School has been at this for some time now, hosting these Socratic Cafes under the tutelage of History Teacher and Rowland Fellow, Katherine Cadwell.

On Thursday, March 28th from 6-8, Harwood Union HS and the Waterbury Library will be hosting another Socrates Café in the HUHS Library. All members of the community are welcome to join in the dialogue on the question: "What is the relationship between success and happiness?" Rather than being a debate or a discussion, a Socrates Café is a dialogue where participants are encouraged to listen to each other and to learn from one another. This form of discourse and its focus on the search for knowledge, comes from Socrates, who observed that, "Wisdom Begins in Wonder." These gatherings are open to all members of the community, regardless of age, experience or background. Harwood students who are experienced in leading Socratic Dialogues will facilitate the discussions. Refreshments will be served.
