Phase II Youth Salon: Reflections on Connection in a High Speed World

Malachy Youth Salon Poster

As many of you may already be aware this year's Youth Salon is fast approaching. For Phase II that means it's crunch time and we'll all be brainstorming as much as possible to bring a thought-provoking experience to our audience. For everyone else that means the chance to participate in a night of music and discussion that should be a glimpse into the process of idea generating and dinner time camaraderie that is a staple of Phase II. This year we are hoping to bring as immersive an experience as possible. Our audience will be as much a part of presenting our thoughts on the theme as we will be. At least that's the idea.

Speaking of the theme, this year's youth salon title is Reflections on Connections in a High Speed World. If our discussions have been any indication, this promises to be a topic approachable from many different directions. We've been focusing our recent work on developing questions and discussion guiding techniques that should yield the most juicy conversation. With a diverse audience, many of whom, unlike ourselves, grew up before the age of the internet there will be a much broader range of opinions. The idea of digital communication is a fascinating new dimension of modern life that carries with it a great spectrum of ideas. If you enjoy music, discussion, spoken word poetry, avant-garde theater or good food this will be the event for you.
