Past Events

We have pursued our mission using two different paths

First, we develop and promote an annual community-wide forum on a topic of Global significance.  Our Board of Directors researches the topic and invites speakers who bring different perspectives to our forum.  

Our process includes dedicating half of the public presentation to audience participation as we believe that questions are as important as the presentation.  We also attempt to revisit the question about six months after the presentation to see what progress might have been made or if additional insight has been developed.  

Our other approach to sharing with the community relates to the production of a monthly television program, “Global Dialogue,” that seeks to share conversations about global issues and values with the wider community.  YouTube versions of these programs are accessible at Continue the Conversation.

Over the years, we have explored such diverse topics as:

• Preemptive War

• The Search for Security

• Fixing the Global Economy

• Palestinian/Israeli Conflict

• A Year Without War

• Global Refugee Explosion and the Global Village

• The High Cost of Incarceration: Scandinavian Alternatives
