===WHAT IS LEARNING? Friday, 6 May, 8 pm===
Must education be either teacher-driven or learner-driven? John Dewey describes an
‘aesthetic experience’ for learning and proposes that the most worthwhile education
consists of memorable experiences which make a real difference to one’s life. What are
your views on what learning and education should be like?

===CAN WE CONTROL OUR BRAIN ACTIVITY? Wednesday, 18 May, 12.30 ===
Techniques have evolved which allow us to measure the activity of our brain, and evidence
suggests that we can use biofeedback methods to control and change our brain activity.
The equipment used is becoming more accessible, so is this useful to us? Could we use it
to maximise our cognitive performance, or help us to relax? Can it also be used as a
treatment method? How would this change our view of ourselves?

===THE VALUES REVOLUTION: WHY EVERYTHING COMES DOWN TO THE VALUES YOU HOLD,Saturday, 28 May, 3 pm===
In politics, at work, when making major personal decisions, the values you hold dear
determine what you do. Often, people and organisations are unaware of the values they
hold. This conversation will be about getting clearer about (y)our values using techniques
derived from the latest philosophical, psychological and linguistic research.
