The Longreads Club gets together every other week to discuss a long-form article focused on global topics. Rather than skim the headlines, we are trying to dive deep and learn from each other to gain a better understanding of world events. Just read the article, show up, and join the discussion!

We post our events on Meetup, Facebook, and the WorldOregon website. More people are RSVP'd than is seen here.

NOTE: Although this event is organized by the Young Professionals Steering Committee at WorldOregon, it is open to everyone. You don't need to identify as young nor professional to attend. In fact, it is better to have a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives.
