The Repast Project is our effort to confront declines in civility and reading habits by hosting mealtime conversations with members and others.  The end is always a dinner table (without electronic devices) where we talk about books and ideas in"unconventional" learning spaces: local restaurants, teacher's homes, farms and even prisons.  The project offers: (1) a free gourmet meal ; (2) opportunities for meaningful cross-cultural conversation about multi-dimensional issues; and (3) a free book to continue reading and talking about things that matter in their own jobs and homes and with family and friends.  

Thus, the Repast Project worries that we--as a species--have lost (in a single generation) the skills of civil, face-to-face conversation about complicated issues and are witnessing the slow death of literary reading practices. 

Meal:  Chilean Empanadas and accompaniments. 

Reading: Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451
