Program Description

Event Details

We are pleased to offer Great Decisions - America’s largest discussion program on world affairs.  This 8-part series is created by the Foreign Policy Association whose mission is to serve as a catalyst for developing awareness, understanding, and informed opinion on U.S. foreign policy and global issues.

The group meets weekly for 8 sessions. Participants are encouraged to read the companion briefing book prior to each meeting. At the meeting we will view a corresponding video before engaging in informed and thoughtful conversation about the topic presented.

Our facilitator is 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 from traveling extensively throughout Europe, Africa, Australia, the United States and Canada.

Registration is limited to 22 participants for the 8-week series.  Each participant will receive a copy of the 2024 Great Decisions briefing book. By registering for this program, you agree to attend all 8 sessions.

The Great Decisions 2024 Discussion Group series is part of our programming for the Voices and Votes: Democracy in America exhibition opening at Cape Coral Library in September 2024. This Discussion Group is funded by a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.  Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of Florida Humanities or the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Voices and Votes: Democracy in America is a part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and State Humanities Councils nationwide. It is based on an exhibition by the National Museum of American History. Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the United States Congress.
