The Council Conversation Club is the Council's version of a "book club." Prior to coming together for this discussion group, participants are provided some reading and listening materials from different viewpoints about the topic at hand. Then, during the program, they discuss the issues with their peers and a facilitator and have the opportunity to engage with the world around them.
