Meaningful Conversations: Politics and Activism

Details

We are coming directly from the Canary Islands to host a "Meaningful Conversation" session on the beach: 🔗 Please join the Whatsapp group for this series of events, we're also looking for hosts for the project in Marseille! https://chat.whatsapp.com/LMzrLwDYEmSLniCDNkQn7v?s=cl&p=i&mlu=4&ilr=4 👋 Hey, discover how to master your emotional intelligence with a thought-provoking and friendly approach. Join us for a modern-day version of an 18th-century salon. Engage in an evening of meaningful conversation without the usual small talk. A place to share personal stories and to learn from diverse ideas. Each time we pick a topic and frame the discussion around a few related questions. 🏛️🌍✊🏽 POLITICS AND ACTIVISM 1. How do you define 'politics'? Do you consider yourself to be a person interested in politics? Is everything political? 2. Which are the issues and problems of this time and in your daily life that concern you the most? Why? 3. Do we actually have a future, or is a capitalist system always based on economic capital over human capital? 4. Has the rise of social media improved or worsened the quality of political debate and interactions in our society? 5. Do you think our current laws and rules treat everyone equally, or are some groups treated better than others? 6. Is it possible to have a constructive political dialogue with someone whose opinion is different than ours? How could we make these occasions more constructive? 7. Have you ever got involved in some kind of political activism? Would you consider it? How can common people make an impact and change the world for the better? ⏰ FORMAT 17:00 - 18:10 - Welcome and introductory casual conversation 17:10 - 18:45 - Discussion guided by the event prompt questions 18:45 - 19:00 - We reassemble to sum up discussions and share thoughts or insights from the groups. 19:00 end of event (we'll probably go for dinner together in case you feel like joining) 👀 WHAT'S THE VIBE Diverse: it's not rare to have people from all continents, as well as people from different ages, religions, ideologies, and backgrounds. Vulnerable: we value real conversations, personal stories and experiences. Casual: some people are having tea, some listen more, others talk more, some are taking notes, others are fully absorbed in conversation. 💰 PRICES In person events are organized for FREE.

To meet with, share experiences, hear different perspectives from people of all walks of life, different generations, and different corners of the planet" – Scott Ruddell, Colorado | LQA premium member "Since joining LQA I have had the opportunity to meet some fantastic people who have a wide range of knowledge and life experience. Of course, before participating I was under the impression that one must have read tons of books, possess a higher IQ or even be a quiz master but frankly, those qualities are not the ethos for LQA. I personally learned that it’s about sharing, coming together with all sorts of knowledge and having a growth mindset to learn and hear other people’s perspectives. Overall, I would highly recommend joining LQA as it will broaden your horizons and it will enable you to share your world views on a larger scale with like-minded people." – Shah Karim, London | LQA premium member 🤩 SEE YOU THERE
