Community Conversations

The Community Conversations program was created with the belief that facilitated conversation engages a community better than rhetoric and argument.

“The most meaningful part of the experience for me was having the opportunity to connect with people I may not have normally had the opportunity to connect with in my day-to-day life; to vulnerably discuss a topic that I don't usually discuss.

All of it worked well. I was grateful that someone chimed in to disagree or challenge one of the participants - it kind of broke the ice in a way that hadn't happened because everyone was being so polite. Reminded me of the "real" conversations I used to have with friends in college that don't seem to happen as much anymore -- just a regular meaningful conversation, nothing more, nothing less. Thanks!”
