📍 Location: Capital Factory, Astroboy on Floor 1

Learn how to have deeper, more meaningful conversations through the ancient—but still powerful—Socratic method.

Event Overview
Have you ever left a conversation feeling unheard, misunderstood, or frustrated? Most of us have. In a time when dialogue often feels more like debate, the Socratic Method offers us a different path—one grounded in curiosity, humility, and discovery.

At this event, we’ll explore how this ancient Greek technique can help us think more clearly, communicate more effectively, and engage in conversations that deepen understanding rather than divide us.

Agenda

  • 🧠 A brief lecture on the origins and structure of the Socratic Method, featuring a look at Plato’s Allegory of the Cave

  • 🗣 Interactive exercises designed to practice Socratic dialogue with others in the room—ranging from fun and light-hearted to deep and meaningful topics

  • 🔍 A group discussion on how to ask better questions, identify assumptions, and remain open-minded while exploring challenging ideas

  • 🧭 Tools you can use in everyday life to engage in more thoughtful, respectful discourse

Who Should Attend?

  • Curious minds who enjoy meaningful discussions

  • Those interested in personal growth, history, and culture

  • Anyone passionate about building a better world and fostering community

Expect a welcoming atmosphere, thought-provoking conversation, and the chance to connect with like-minded people who care about shaping the future.
