Students from Harwood's Harkness Leadership class will be hosting a community Socrates Café on Thursday, January 9th from 5:00 to 6:30 PM in the HU library. This event is free and open to the public. The question we will be discussing is "How do we "live now" while still respecting the past?"

A Socrates Café is an opportunity for dialogue about timeless and timely questions that all human beings deal with. Rather than being a debate or a discussion, a Socrates Café is a dialogue where participants are encouraged to listen to and learn from one another. This form of discourse- and its focus on the search for knowledge- comes from the great philosopher Socrates, who observed that "Wisdom Begins in Wonder."

These gatherings are open to all community members, regardless of age, experience, or background. Harwood students who are experienced in leading Socratic Dialogues will facilitate the discussions. Community members of all ages are invited, and refreshments will be provided.

For questions and more information, please contact Adam Sargent at asargent@huusd.org.
