Our facilitator will be educator and long-time Great Discussions leader Klaus-Peter Voss. His experience with world affairs comes from a career spanning over 30 years in education and also from travelling extensively throughout Europe, Africa, Australia, the United States and Canada.

Topics for 2022 include: Changing Demographics; Outer Space; Climate Change; Russia and the US; Myanmar and ASEAN; Quad Alliance; Drug Policy in Latin America; Industrial Policy; Biden's Agenda
