Great Decisions Discussion Group - Village Without Walls

Great Decisions is America's largest discussion program on world affairs. The program model involves reading the Great Decisions Briefing Book, watching the DVD and meeting to discuss some of the most critical global issues facing America today.

We read the briefing book article ahead of the meeting, a video is shown at the beginning of the meeting and then everyone takes turns sharing opinions about the topic. This is a friendly group of people who want to gain and share knowledge about what is happening in our world. 

You don't need to read the book to participate. Whether you want to join in the discussion or just listen, you are always welcome.


Topic: Role of the WHO - The Covid-19 pandemic has thrust the World Health Organization (WHO) into the limelight, for better and for worse. While some of the Trump administration’s criticism of the organization is unfair, the response to the early stages of the pandemic left many experts wanting more from the WHO. What is the WHO’s role in responding to international pandemics? What can be done to improve the WHO’s response to future global health crises?
