Welcome to Socrates Café at Montgomery County-Norristown Public Library!
A Socrates Cafe’ is an opportunity for participants to learn from one another, to work collaboratively and to delve deeply into questions, issues or materials. It is grounded in inquiry, deep curiosity and the belief that “none of us is as smart as all of us.” These conversations are constructivist and transformative, as participants work to create meaning by employing active listening, critical thinking and tolerance for different perspectives. A successful dialogue is one that leaves participants with more questions than answers.
We meet at 10am on the second Friday of each month. No registration is needed. Topics for the next month are decided by the group. All are welcome!
