Great Decisions Global Affairs Discussion Program
Great Decisions is a nationwide program coordinated by the Foreign Policy Association annually. The FPA generates annual Great Decisions booklets with eight essays written about prominent international affairs-related topics affecting the U.S. and the world. Local volunteer, non-profit Great Decisions chapters then host local presenter series events for eight weeks to bring these vital topics to “Main Street.” Great Decisions events are very casual, informal opportunities for community engagement and public scholarship in the heart of our community. We offer open, free, one-our lectures on Fridays at 12:00 pm at the Delaware, OH William Street United Methodist Church in downtown Delaware.
Great Decisions events in Delaware will be held on the following dates: March 8, 15, 22; April 5, 12, 26; and May 3.
All events are available on Zoom, as well (see below)
