Join us for the next Community Socrates Café
May 28th from 5:30 to 7:00 PM

Discussion Question: What is the value of empathy to our society?

Students from Harwood’s Harkness Leadership class will be hosting a community Socrates Café on Thursday, May 28th from 5:30 to 7:00 PM in the HU library. 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 Eve Berinati eberinati@huusd.org.
