Monday, Feb. 28, 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Pan Café, St. Catharines
In our increasingly fast-moving, diverse and technology-based society,
it’s hard to imagine what the world will look like in four years much
less 40. In order to prepare children for the future, should the goals of
education be training for a competitive workforce, building citizenship
skills and a sense of social responsibility, or perhaps developing the
self-awareness to lead a balanced and happy life? In this conversation,
we will explore your ideas for an ideal education in the 21st century.
 
What are
our dreams
for Niagara?
Tuesday, March 8, 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Café on Main, Fonthill
Niagara has a very distinctive character that includes unique
agricultural lands, older urban areas, the Niagara Escarpment and
one of the largest tourist attractions in the world—Niagara Falls.
Our region, like many Ontario communities, is currently going
through a major transition. In this public conversation we will
explore the qualities that make a great community and discuss
what each of our hopes are for Niagara ten years from now.

Pan Café, St. Catharines
Vegetarian, low-calorie, local, organic, haute cuisine,

eat without having to make a conscious ethical,
health or social choice from the excess of options
available. In this conversation we invite you to come

Monday, April 4, 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Coffee Culture, Grimsby
In our current electronic age, some people worry that reading has taken
a back seat to watching television, playing video games and scanning
the web. Others cite the incredible popularity of book clubs, Kindles
and e-books, and argue that there has not been a decline in reading for
pleasure at all. In this conversation, we will explore what and why you
read, how you find the time to read and whether technology has changed
your current reading patterns.

News Café, Niagara Falls
For some people a home is where they hang their hat at
night, for others it is where their heart is; but most will agree
that there is no place like home. In this public conversation
we’ll explore what defines ‘home’ by asking what makes a
place ‘home’, whether your idea of home has changed over
time and where you find your feeling of home today.

Monday, April 18, 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Coffee Culture, Grimsby
Do you find that you have more goals than time? Dividing your
energy between family, friends, work, exercise and leisure activities
can be a difficult balancing act. In this discussion, we will consider
the issue of personal sustainability, and explore the ways you seek
personal life balance when feeling torn in many directions.
Celebrations can meet our need for ritual and connection,
bring us together as a community and give us a focus
larger than our daily routine. Celebrations can provide an
opportunity for reflection as well as add excitement and
fun to life. In this conversation, we'll discuss the different
ways that you incorporate celebrations into your life,
the celebrations that have the most meaning to you and
question whether we celebrate enough both personally
and as a community.
