 nPractical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers to
 gether for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic\, practice communicating
 \, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge r
 equired! 😎\n\nPractical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy sh
 ould be accessible to all\, and not something reserved only for academics.
  Each week we choose a topic\, and the goal is to use the conversation to 
 develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic.\
 nThe goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking\, Communication\, and C
 ommunity 🙌\n\n📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?\n\nEach week\, we pick one topic and dis
 cuss it. The topic for the week is shared\, generally in the WhatsApp grou
 p\, along with jump-off points to get the conversation going.\nWhen groups
  get bigger than 7-8 people\, it’s important that we break into smaller gr
 oups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to
  having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture.\n\nGeneral Meeting A
 genda\nEach Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline:\n\
 n19:00-19:15 - People arrive and chat\, get to know each other before the 
 official start.\n19:15-19:25 - Meeting introduction\, explanation of Pract
 ical Philosophy and the topic for the week\, read the guidelines and the o
 verview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines.\n19:25-20:
 45 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts o
 n the topic\, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can revi
 ew the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed\, but they are just there to help gu
 ide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them.\n20:45-21:00 - B
 ring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each gro
 up gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and eve
 ryone takes a group photo.\n21:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s 
 a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment\
 , so we often stick around\, chat\, and get to know each other.\n\n🧧PRICIN
 G?\n\nPractical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! We just ask that if we 
 are meeting in a café\, buy a beverage! Some chapters rent a space for us 
 to meet\, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost of
  rent. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though!\n\n💛 WHAT PEOPLE SA
 Y ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY\n\n🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someo
 ne build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while no
 t promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam\n\n🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (
 the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it
  is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and 
 increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who mi
 ght challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to ha
 ve openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel\n\n🤓 FAQ\n\n​What will we talk
  about? What's the topic?\n\n​The topic for the week is shared every Sunda
 y in the WhatsApp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on
  this event page as well but if you don’t see it\, the topic and the jump-
 off points will be in our WhatsApp group.\n\nDo I need to study or read an
 ything to attend?\n\nNo preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of ot
 her thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic\, not what an
  old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a s
 chool of thought to share\, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it\, b
 ut it's not required.\n\nIs there a specific philosophy that Practical Phi
 losophy is focused on?\n\nThe goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic
  discussions\, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this\, w
 e want to hear from every realm of thought\, and don't study a particular 
 school.\n\nIs it mostly men that attend?\n\nSurprisingly\, no! Although ph
 ilosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guy
