The Modern Agora - Your Space to Connect, Think and Make a Difference
WEATHER ANNOUNCEMENT
As the weather looks quite unstable today, we decided to move indoors! Please meet us from 11:30am onwards at Plush Cafe & Bar, right next to Trinity Bellwoods Park!
If there are any issues finding us or other questions, please call or text me at +1 416-834-6052.
🏛️ Our Vision
At The Modern Agora, we are building modern versions of the ancient Greek agoras - gathering places that were central to the development of democracy, public discourse and social impact, while serving as the foundation for community life.
Join our events to discuss what really matters, start local initiatives and build a stronger community with the people in your area.
👤 Who Would Most Enjoy This Event?
The Agora is for everyone that is interested in meaningful dialogue, building new connections and making a difference in their immediate environment. People of all ages and ethnic/religious backgrounds have attended our events - we encourage diversity of thought and personality.
💡 What Topics Do We Address?
Topics can range from personal and social issues to politics, philosophy and spirituality. For example, at previous events, we've explored and developed solutions for “How to Build Environments That Foster Flow State”, “Happiness on Decline in Canada”, “Bringing Back the 5$ Footlong at Subway” or "What Makes a Great Person to Live With?
We encourage you to suggest topics you are passionate about in the sign-up form – most of what we cover comes directly from you.
ℹ️ Here Is What to Expect!
We will spend the first half discussing our topic and the second to develop concrete solutions - there is time to socialize too of course
We will provide you with an intentional structure, material (pens, post-its etc.) and the environment to help making your conversations more productive
You will be able to choose one of 4-5 issues to work on
Topics will be split in groups of 5-6
We will have some free snacks and drinks for you
