After spending his first days as a former president learning how to kite surf, Barack Obama will head back to Chicago to deliver his first public address since leaving office, the Chicago Tribune reports.

On Monday, Obama is set to hold a discussion at the University of Chicago in front of roughly 300 young leaders from different schools in the area. According to CNN, the discussion will be a "conversation on community organizing and civic engagement." Six lucky students will also get to join the former president onstage and have been encouraged to ask him whatever they want.

"This event is part of President Obama's post-presidency goal to encourage and support the next generation of leaders driven by strengthening communities around the country and the world," one of his advisories told the Tribune.

You can watch the discussion via the livestream below starting at 12 PM EST.
