PLATO offers about 70 member-created and member-led SDGs each year, divided into three 14-week terms. Topics include subjects from fields of art, literature, science, history, political science, music, current affairs, and many others. Some members select SDGs on topics they have never studied while others choose SDGs to deepen their knowledge of familiar subjects. The point is to pick what interests you and then talk about it with people who share your interest.

Sessions:

SDG sessions are 14, 10 or 7-weeks in length, with each weekly session lasting two hours. SDGs are scheduled Monday through Friday either at 10 AM – noon, or 1 PM – 3 PM, at our facility in Westwood Village (Covid 19 willing) or on special Zoom session for those unable or unwilling to drive to our Westwood facility. We have three terms Winter: January – April; Spring/Summer: May – August; Fall: September – December.
