A Reason to Keep Going
Who We Are (in 59 seconds)
Mission
The mission of the World In Conversation Project is to create dialogues about social and cultural issues that expand perspectives and invite greater understanding between people--locally and globally.
Method
Using the Socratic Method and honest, open-ended questions, facilitators take an ideologically neutral position that allows participants from all groups to candidly excavate their personal stories, experiences, and views. This approach makes possible the meaningful and productive navigation of complex, contentious issues.
Philosophy
The expression of one’s viewpoint on an issue is the beginning of an individual's greater understanding and knowledge of that issue. And the experience of doing so in a group setting can create a synergy between participants that advances critical thinking, community, bridge building, and self-understanding.
