What I mean is - what do you expect of the meetings and the participants?
Need more information!

I expect the discussion of the topic. In English. The participants should be able to speak English. So, everybody who can speak English is wellcome.

Once girlfriends of mine and I had a craft club. We met once a week. Everyone had her own project with her, and though everyone worked on her own project, we were together and talked about everything, and joked, and had a good time. Then one of the girlfriends decided that she would like to show everyone how to make beautiful ornaments for Christmas. She showed us pictures of Faberge eggs and shared with us some ideas on how to use beads and ribbons and so on. We made the ornaments - they were very different. And then we exchanged them, so everyone got a Christmas present
Do you plan something like that?

That's what I'm asking about.
What kind of discussion?
The discussion can be like the one described by Stanislaw Lem in his 'The Futurological Congress'. There were too many people who wanted to make a speech during the Congress. So all the participants got booklets with all the speeches before the meetings. Each speaker would call out the page number and the paragraph number, so that the listeners could find it in the booklet. That's how everyone knew what the speaker was trying to say - his/her concepts and theses. To prove his/her ideas the speaker would - again - call out the paragraph numbers, which contained the examples, proofs, illustrations, and clarifications.
Discussions were similar. Someone in the audience would stand up and call out the page and paragraph number which pointed to the idea s/he would like to bring up. And so on.
So, the discussions went like this:
Speaker: - Page 489, #1, because # 4, 5, and 7.
Man from audience: - It's not true because page 512, #3-6.
Speaker: - But page 525, # 3 and 8.
And so on.

Татя, discussion is consideration of a question in open and usually informal debate.©
