meet, discuss the issues, and arrive at an informed opinion on each topic. To facilitate the programming, the FPA produces the weekly e-newsletters, "Great Decisions Online" and "Great Decisions in the Classroom", written for Great Decisions participants and educators. The organization makes a map of all the various discussion groups across the US available and encourages individuals to start groups of their own. Teacher Training Working to increase Great Decisions participation among high school students, FPA conducts outreach to hundreds of high school teachers from around the United States at meetings of the National Council for the Social Studies. Through Great Decisions workshop presentations and exhibitor booths, educators can learn about FPA's programming and receive samples of the Great Decisions educational materials. In addition to the general outreach, the Foreign Policy Association organizes "Great Decisions Teacher Training Institutes". Here, secondary school teachers learn about the Great Decisions programming materials, and resources to explore ways to integrate Great Decisions in the classroom curricula. Events Since the launch of the luncheon series in the 1920s, the Foreign Policy Association has invited experts to discuss global affairs issues with the public. Aside from the recurrent annual events such as the Annual FPA Dinner, the "World Leadership Forum", and the "International Business Forum", it also organizes events such as "Town Hall" meetings, lectures, luncheon discussions and open forums with world leaders and experts in the New York City metropolitan area.
