If you are interested in history, international relations, and current affairs, this group offers a thoughtful forum to look beyond the headlines; to see the world and all its problems arising from conflict, social, economic and technological development. It provides our group with ample topics for exploration and discussion.

•          What we do:  Examine the root causes of historical and modern conflicts, discuss peace-building strategies, and share diverse perspectives on global diplomacy and the impact on our lives.
•          Who is it for?  Anyone who enjoys deep, respectful discussions about world history, politics, and the human quest for harmony.
We are a friendly and lively group.  Participation will keep your mind active, enable you to meet new friends in a relaxed, social, and supportive environment, and contribute your own thoughts to the group.  If you wish to join us, then please contact Bob Ruffles for further information.
