The National Week of Conversation (NWOC) is designed to encourage dialogue between people from all backgrounds, beliefs, and perspectives. We all feel the divide in this country. Controversial issues often spark strong emotions leading to ugly disputes with strangers and even with family and friends around the dinner table. It’s time to get back to civility and learn to disagree without being disagreeable.
ProCon.org has joined forces with over 80 organizations to promote this important week.
Why ProCon.org?
Everyday thousands of people use ProCon.org to learn about important issues. We are deeply invested in empowering productive conversations that stem from this learning. Connecting with people outside our bubbles can be a powerful and rewarding experience. Bridging the divide starts with understanding the issues and each other. Respect and curiosity pave the way for better communication – even around difficult topics. Please share this page with your networks to help spread the word.
