SCARBOROUGH - Practical Philosophy 🇨🇦

🏛️ WHAT IS PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY?
Practical Philosophy is a weekly gathering designed for critical thinkers to explore intriguing topics, enhance communication skills, and foster community. No formal philosophy background is necessary! 😎
Our sessions aim to make philosophy accessible for everyone, away from the confines of academia. Each week, we engage in meaningful conversations that sharpen our critical thinking and communication abilities. Join us in building a vibrant community! 🙌

📓 HOW DO WE OPERATE?
Every week, we select a theme for discussion, announced in our WhatsApp group, along with thought-provoking prompts to kick-start the dialogue.
When attendance exceeds 7-8 participants, we break into smaller groups to ensure a natural flow, preventing the meeting from feeling like a formal lecture.

Typical Meeting Agenda:

• 19:00-19:15 - Arrival and mingling to facilitate introductions.
• 19:15-19:25 - Kickoff with an introduction to Practical Philosophy, the week's topic, and guidelines to set expectations.
• 19:25-20:45 - Break into small groups for introductions and open discussions. Feel free to reference the 'jump-off' questions for guidance, but answering them is not mandatory.
• 20:45-21:00 - Reconvene to share main takeaways from each group, followed by a concluding summary from the organizer and a group photo.
• 21:00 - Official end of the meeting, but feel free to stay and chat!
