News and information about events happening in our world enlighten, educate, clarify, intrigue, frustrate and sometimes shock us. In fact, there is so much information endlessly swirling around that it’s difficult to stop, take a deep breath to reflect on and contemplate what we’re hearing and seeing.
Stories move rapidly, take different twists and turns as new information emerges; the shape of the story changes and other stories emerge that demand our attention. Our thinking shifts to the next thing and the next until we are skating across the tenuous surface of daily current affairs. Sometimes, stories become so big that we look away, when we most need to look.
Increasingly, news stories are more varied. We need to actively analyse information, interpret complex messages, spot political agendas, all the while attempting to understand the vast implications, here at home and across the globe. In an era of rapid information dissemination and evolving global events, staying informed and engaged with current affairs has never been more crucial.
The SPLC Current Affairs Forum provides a safe space to connect with like-minded individuals with a common interest in staying on top of the latest happenings around the world. In weekly, 90 minute sessions, time is created to present, engage, think, reflect and discuss at a more relaxed pace. It’s an opportunity to share your perspectives and insights on a current topic in an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding.
Join us and be part of a dynamic space where your thoughts and opinions matter. Together, let’s navigate the complexities of our world, learn from one another through informed and respectful attention and discussion.
Don’t be shy - your voice helps add to our understanding of the world around us!
