When was the last time you could discuss your thoughts openly and honestly with others? Have you ever questioned society and it's assumptions or your own? Do you like to have a good, safe discussion without fear of being attacked for having an opinion that is different? This is Socrates Café.
Here, we are a group of individuals who like to talk. We come from all walks of life, all nationalities, all religions, all political views, both genders. We come from North, East, South and West. We get together and discuss what is on our minds, from something on the news that day to the age old questions of "What is ...?"

Described as a mix between School House Rock and Monty Python, The Story Pirates know every kid has a story to tell-- whether it's a world where cats can fly or a rock opera about fuzzy alien Tickle Monsters. Founded in 2003 to promote a love of creative writing, the Story Pirates have collected words and ideas from children across the country and brought their stories to life on stage and on film. That's right-- the inspiration for every Story Pirates song, sketch or movie is an original story penned by a kid. Saturday night they will present videos of kids’ stories that they have produced recently and be available afterwards to discuss their process and interactions with kids.
The mission of the Striking Viking Story Pirates is “to celebrate the words and ideas of young people and to create confident, literate students equipped with a variety of tools for written, verbal, and artistic self-expression.” Story Pirates’ original arts and literacy programs “improve the relevancy and effectiveness of classroom and extracurricular learning, create confident children who carry their ability to express themselves into adulthood, and build strong communities that celebrate the value of young voices from diverse backgrounds.”
Time:
1:00pm - 2:00pm
Description:
Sunday the Striking Viking Story Pirates will present a special workshop at the Aurora office for 12 children where they will bring a story to life right before the kids’ very eyes! Snacks provided.
The Striking Viking Story Pirates was founded in 2003 by a group of Northwestern graduates who were saddened by the discrepancy between the arts-rich environments of our childhoods and the situations we saw in many under-resourced New York City public schools. Our solution was to show kids across New York City that their ideas, their words, and their stories were important.
Maximum of 12 children
Advance ticket purchase required for Sunday workshop.
Ages: 9-12
