Café Scientifique

The Lunenfeld and the Ontario Science Centre present Café Scientifique - a dialogue / debate / discussion that engages a diverse audience in current events and controversial ideas. (For the cost of a cup of coffee or a pint of beer, anyone can participate in an informal conversation about hot health care issues!)

 

Join the debate!

Every Café event has a facilitator who moderates discussion and encourages participation. No PowerPoint presentations, no lecturing – just discussion!
