Description:
The Public Conversations Project is interested in helping communities develop the connections and resources that will enable people to have honest, heartfelt, courageous conversations that build connection and resilience in the midst of even the deepest of differences. Dialogue is a powerful means of bringing people together across chasms of division in many contexts and on many subjects. This paper examines the challenges to constructive public engagement and vibrant community and will present one useful alternative: the Reflective Structured Dialogue approach of the Public Conversations Project.
