Geopolitics Discussion: Virtual Edition

You don’t need a finished opinion to talk about world affairs. Bring a question, share a perspective, or explore an issue you’re still trying to understand.

This free-flowing online conversation starts with what participants have in mind. Held jointly with our sister clubs in Dubai, London and Berlin, it’s a chance to think through international affairs together rather than follow a fixed presentation.

Where the conversation might go

Participant interests come first. When a little structure helps, our rough guide is:

• First hour: EU, Middle East and Africa

• Second hour: Asia Pacific

• Third hour: Thematic discussion

Expect overlaps and changes of direction as questions develop. This is a guide, not a fixed agenda; join or leave at your convenience.

Room to think freely

Camera-off is the default. You may choose to switch yours on for an introduction or another practical reason. Recording is not permitted. These ground rules support the free thinking we value.

The Chatham House Rule applies throughout the session.
