Who are the Sylvans?
We are a diverse group who meet in a central London pub twice a month. With a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, we discuss topics in-depth in a friendly atmosphere of mutual respect.
Mission: generate wisdom via debate
We take a fresh view on the important issues we discuss. We always incorporate a wide range of perspectives, with speeches from the audience making up two-thirds of our debates. By the end of the night, we have a deeper understanding of the topic: crowd wisdom, not echo chamber.
