11 November 2025 | Council News
Celebrate World Philosophy Day by stepping into a night of curious minds, thoughtful conversations and surprising connections.
At the Perfect Strangers Philosophy Soirée, you’ll be matched with two strangers for relaxed one-on-one chats, guided by conversation cards inspired by great thinkers. You don’t need to have philosophy knowledge; you just need to be curious!
The soiree is the second instalment of the Perfect Strangers series, a unique social experience that brings together people from diverse walks of life for fresh conversations and perspectives.
