What we’re about
Learn, Grow, Pay It Forward http://bit.ly/Conversation_Day_Pictures
Are you a lifelong learner of wisdom? Do ask why? Do you ask how to master new skills?
"Manhattan Lectures & Conversations" (MLC) is a group of growth-minded volunteers looking for engaging conversations and lectures. The vision is to connect people who love learning—old and young, singles and couples, boroughs and islanders alike, in a way that fosters both community and growth.
NYC has some of the greatest minds on earth coursing through it on a daily basis, so let's take advantage of that fact and get our learn on!
Additionally, we will have coffee and discussion after each lecture for those who are interested.
