Takeaways:

“What role does the youth play in initiating, facilitating and implementing knowledge gained from dialogues?”

“What’s the diff[erence] between 150 ppl writing content on Reddit for 4 million…and CBC? Or Fox News? Intent?”

“That changes of mind and opinions are experiential, so we have to strengthen our experiences of joy, community and understanding of one another if we wish to have more positive and unifying trends happen.”

Audience Reflections

Actions I can take:

“Smile 🙂“

“I shift ‘difficult conversation’ to ‘honest conversation’ – it changes the energy.”

“Support local + global institutions that inform (school + public libraries and Wikipedia). And do so with accuracy and legitimacy.”

“Effective conversation also have to be honest in a way that grants Justice to the party that needs it! In the scenario mention there’s one party that was suffering while ethe other wasn’t. So the effective conversation should highlight that?”

“Dinner parties! 🙂“

“What can we do to reach those people not in this room – the unconverted?”

“People before profit. Feel good about paying taxes.”
