No reading required: The Book Club experience

‘Fluid identities’ Join Kriticos for a unique book club event where you do NOT have to read the book in order to participate.

The theme for the January book club experience is 'fluid identities'. Together, we’ll discuss how life transitions, relationships, societal norms, and global shifts shape who we are, and examine the interplay between individuality and belonging. Can we embrace the fluidity of identity, finding strength in adaptability and diversity? How do we navigate the challenge of remaining authentic while adapting to changing environments? This is an open invitation to reflect on the past, imagine the future, and connect with others as we delve into one of the most fascinating aspects of human experience.


This isn’t your typical book club—no need to read the book beforehand! Engage in a dynamic round table for curious minds as we explore the complexities of adult friendships. Kriticos will guide the conversation using key quotes and ideas, creating a space for insightful dialogue and reflection. Whether you’re a seasoned reader or just curious, this event welcomes all. Dive into meaningful discussions and connect with a diverse community. Don’t miss out on this extraordinary experience!
