Plus, offered this Spring through Portland Adult Education:
"PORTLAND JUNTO
Instructors: Peter Wannemacher
Do you prefer discussing over disputing? How would you like to have people listen and respond instead of ignore and react? The Portland Junto is a 21st century version of a polite discussion group established by Benjamin Franklin in Colonial America. In 1727, Mr. Franklin asked a few of his acquaintances to meet regularly in order to discuss and debate "in the sincere spirit of inquiry after truth, without fondness for dispute or desire of victory." He called it Junto. Out of those discussions came such ideas as the public library, volunteer fire departments, and paved roads. In these meetings a small group will gather once a week to present and listen to ideas. There will be rules of politeness and a moderator and plenty of opportunity to learn from others in your community. Topics will be selected by the group. #1602; Mondays5/2-5/30; 6:00-8:00 PM; 5 SessionsDeering High School, Room 115 Course fee $35/45"
