Online Discussion Forum participants have the opportunity to enjoy becoming more informed about such topics as international affairs, diplomacy, climate change, the sciences, the arts and humanities, economics, philosophy, etc. There is much to be learned from amiable frank discussions.

Online Discussion Forums generally run for about 1.5–2 hours and begin with a 15– to 30-minute introduction by a guest presenter, after which aspects of the topics that were presented are open for discussion. Participants need to have a free zoom.us account. The 30 minutes prior to the beginning of each Forum are for open discussion and technology checking.
