The group identifies key issues which it wants to discuss. Hopefully, there will be a mix of current issues like the turmoil in the Middle East and big background issues like population growth. The discussion is kick-started by a group member giving a short presentation (say 10 minutes) and ideally posing provocative questions which can enliven the discussion. We may not sort out the world's problems but, at least, we will have a deeper appreciation of them.
