SparkUps are dynamic, small-group discussions designed to tackle complex topics with intellectual curiosity. Guided by the principles of Socratic Dialogue, these conversations bring together 3-4 open-minded individuals who value diversity of thought, freedom of speech and objective truth. In SparkUps, participants collaborate to challenge their own thinking and seek shared understanding. Think of them as what Socrates would have created if he lived in the digital age.
