How about a Conversation Corps? A group of us, spread all over and\u00a0 leading conversations.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re putting together something special – a collaboration of students, groups, faculty, staff, and departments to foster gatherings and conversations. Conversations that are productive, hip, and reach \u201cacross the aisle.\u201d Conversations that reflect and acknowledge that fears exist.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re into rallying people, and bringing people together who are like-minded about hard and empowering conversation. We strive for a collective to help the campus community frame conversations to help lessen anxiety and fear among folks who maybe do not know each other or themselves. The goal is to struggle with helping people within our communities articulate their thoughts and identities in a style that others can relate to.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re bringing in\u00a0Ask Big Questions<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday, January 25, to host a workshop to give us the resources and methods to bring diverse groups of people together to have conversations about things that matter. We will learn a set of skills and some ideas that can be used in many ways. Most importantly, we will learn to have personal conversations that bring people together, rather than drive a wedge in-between. The session will last\u00a0from 1-5 p.m.\u00a0at the Florence & Chaftez Hillel House<\/a>. Join us for lunch at noon and drinks after the program if you wish.<\/p>\n
