The Book Club
A moment for curious minds from different cultures and who love stories, to share thoughts and opinions with one another. This time, we’ll be discussing how we form, end and come to terms with our relationships.
The Book Club concept is quite simple: gathering philosophers to join the table, we get in conversation with each other on said topic, allowing the conversation to steer off course and encouraging free-form discussion. This book club requires no reading, before the session. We select quotes from the books, that touch on subjects/topics of conversation and discuss them, as a group. Euronews called this the 'reverse book club’.
