World Citizens Tuesday Debates & Discussions: Culture, Society, Politics

IMPORTANT: we meet at a public venue (a cinema cafe) and the venue staff is not involved with us. We kindly ask that you look for our group independently and not ask the venue staff - read our instructions below for a positive experience :)

Enjoy deep conversations with people from around the world? Want to make real friends while learning and exchanging perspectives on important topics? Every Tuesday night we get together for an open, constructive and stimulating discussion around a key topic (anything in politics, society, culture, philosophy or just life in general) with a focus on learning and finding solutions.

• We plan a range of different activities, including regular weekly socials, dining events, walks, trips, sports, debates and more fun activities.

How to find us: we meet at a public venue (Curzon Cinema cafe) and the venue staff is not involved with us, so you'll need to look for our space when you arrive. We usually meet in the area with the long row of orange tables facing a long wall with black-and-white photos. Or just look for a larger group of people who are discussing

WHAT IS WORLD CITIZENS?
We're one of London's longest-running and largest communities. Since 2012 we run socials, cultural activities and stimulating discussions to foster meaningful exchange and learning among London's global professionals.

NOTE: like most guests, our volunteer hosts also attend after work and may happen to arrive after the start time. If you are punctual or earlier than our hosts, we highly appreciate this! Please feel free to start socializing already and/or get something to eat or drink - that’s the point of our events anyway. Our regular members can also help you out with any basic matters.
