WHAT IS PLATO ? |
|||||
| PLATO is a dynamic community of about 400 adults who have the time and commitment to continue a lifelong pursuit of knowledge. Each member researches, participates in - and periodically leads - weekly small group discussions of topics they’ve chosen. PLATO is not a passive experience. Like our namesake, we learn and teach through interactive dialogue – an educational opportunity like no other. | |||||
| 14-week terms begin the first weeks of January, May and September, with a choice of 25 subjects per term that range in scope from literature to science; from history and current events to the arts and philosophy. PLATO Study/Discussion Groups meet during the day in Westwood for weekly two-hour sessions. Members are expected to participate in at least two of the three terms each year. There are no academic requirements, age limits, grades or faculty. Your own input assures there is something each term that will pique your interest and stimulate your mind. |
