Event Details
Join us for another great series with presenter Giacomo Calabria! Coffee & Conversation is co-sponsored by Bethlehem Senior Projects, Inc. and this 4-part series is grant funded by Humanities New York.
This series invites patrons from the Bethlehem Public Library, and surrounding Capital Region, to analyze and discuss the Ancient Greek philosopher Plutarch’s most famous writings on leadership. We will read three essays on leadership from Plutarch’s Parallel Lives, discuss them in groups, and compare the historical figures and situations covered to US history. Our goal is to give participants a better understanding of leadership, which aspects of it remained favorable throughout history, and what lessons can be learned from Plutarch to better understand and practice good leadership.
Audience participation is both welcome and encouraged! Please feel free to bring questions for open discussion. This is the 4th and final session.
*These sessions will be recorded
