Great Decisions Discussion Series

Please join us for Great Decisions, a discussion series at Wilton Library focused on current world affairs. Created by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA), the Great Decisions discussion series has been run annually by a wide variety of libraries and educational institutions across the country for nearly 60 years.  The series will highlight eight of the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans in 2025, including such topics as: U.S. China Relations, India: Between China, the West and the Global South, and the Future of NATO and European Security, among others. Each attendee will receive a briefing book (professionally published by the FPA) which includes pre-session readings (about 10 pages per week) providing background information, current data, and policy options for each issue. It serves as the focal point for our discussions. 

This 8-session course will run weekly  and kicks off with a 20-minute Great Decisions video on the topic of the week followed by a group discussion. To facilitate an active and engaged discussion, attendance is limited to 30 people, who will be registered for all eight sessions in the series. Those registrants will be notified to pick up their briefing books a week before the series starts. Because of the attendance limitation and the distribution of our limited set of briefing books, attendees are expected, if at all possible, to attend all eight sessions. To mark your calendars, here are the dates: 4/7, 4/14, 4/21, 4/28, 5/5, 5/12, 5/19, 5/28  (note: 5/28 is a Wednesday due to Memorial Day). 

Registration required.
