Fresh Perspectives
Do you love TED talks? Do you feel amazed when a friend offers a new viewpoint on a nagging problem? Do you love discussing a new perspective on life issues? Join us for Fresh Perspectives: A Ted talk discussion group, where we’ll look at old ideas from a new angle, look at life from a different slant, or entertain new approaches to the world. Every month we will discuss a video, whether a TED talk or Youtube video and an important issue. From Amanda Gorman’s The Hill We Climb, to Lidia Yukanavitch’s The Misfit’s Manifesto, we’ll consider poetry, activism, fitting in, equality, transitions, human purpose, and everything in between. We’ll take fresh looks, new views, and different perspectives, as we explore being human and living this one precious life.
 
Fresh Perspectives meets the first Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm starting in October. For our inaugural meeting on October 7^th, we’ll be discussing Amanda Gorman's TED talk Using Your Voice as a Political Choice. To register email office@phillipsfreelibrary.org
