    two-day workshop in Atlanta, GA.

     

    You'll complete writing and speaking exercises honing your persuasiveness and articulation — making you an effective advocate for the ideas of free and open societies.

     

    Learn from lectures with top scholars, engage in stimulating Socratic discussion, and interact with like-minded peers who also believe in their own power to impact the world.
