6:00 PM in the evening, our circle came to life. Fifteen of us sat down together, not just as individuals, but as a small community ready to think, share, and dream.
Being the first Circle, we began by exploring the roots of LOGOS—where it came from and what it stands for. Then came a thoughtful discussion on the very meaning of a circle: a space without corners, where every voice matters. From there, the floor opened to ideas. We asked ourselves, “What topics truly matter? And among them, which are winnable—problems we can actually solve?”
Our conversation soon turned to policy and the people who shape it. We spent time looking closely at the education system, questioning how it works and how it could be better. We also touched on a promising project aimed at fixing how we handle spending.
Then came a moment that warmed the room. One member made a suggestion: that we hold this circle at least twice a month. “So many people out there have ideas,” he said, “but no place to share them.” Heads nodded in appreciation. Everyone could feel the truth in his words.
And so, as the evening gently closed, we shared not only thoughts but also coffee and a few snacks together. With full cups and open hearts, we called it quits—already looking forward to the next time our circle would meet again.
Highlights
-
We had food, drinks, and good conversation throughout the session
-
Suggested if possible we make this a huge platform to transform our community, most especially in policy formulation and drive change
-
Suggested that if possible we have two Circle meeting a month, citing the need for people to have a social gathering like this.
Did any specific ideas come out of the conversation around education? Things that are about building parallel institutions and solutions that don’t require permission/lobbying government? Curious to hear! Love to read that it was well received too.
