Socratic Circles: Session 1 - What makes a Good Citizen in 2025?

Socratic Circles is a new civic dialogue series by CAPE, designed to create cozy, reflective spaces for Singaporeans to talk politics. Through guided, small-group conversations, we’ll explore big questions like:

• What does it mean to be a good citizen today?
• How do we disagree well?
• When is obedience not enough?

This isn’t a debate or lecture — it’s a circle. You don’t need to be an expert, just someone who’s willing to think deeply and listen generously.
