Great Decisions: A Global Affairs Discussion Series

Please join us for the 2024 topics in the Great Decisions discussion series 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 2024/2025, including such topics as: Mideast Realignment, Climate Technology, U.S. -China trade rivalry and High Seas treaty, among others. Each attendee will receive a briefing book (professionally published by the FPA) which includes pre-session readings (about ten 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 for 8 weeks on Monday evenings. Kicking off each session will be 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 sessions in the series. Those registrants may 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 sessions. To mark your calendars, here are the dates: 9/9, 9/16, 9/23, 9/30, 10/7, 10/15(Tuesday), 10/21, 10/28.   We hope to see you at this fascinating series!

Please register online or call 203-762-6334.  Once you register for the first session, you will automatically be registered for all sessions.  For more information, contact asato@wiltonlibrary.org.
