Are you tired of avoiding those “other” people?
Do you aspire to learn how to be a better listener and communicator?

In the words of Jaclyn Inglis, Partnerships Director of National Conversation Project, which organizes NWOC,
National Week of Conversation is a bold annual occasion when people with diverse perspectives #ListenFirst to understand. Through in-person and virtual conversations exploring any topic of interest, people of all stripes intentionally convene with the goal of mending our frayed social fabric and revitalizing America together. We are encouraging everyone and anyone to reach out to neighbors, family and friends and form your own conversations. One week. One week to step back from routine work schedules and routine interactions. One week to…prioritize your concerns about our future. One week when we can step forward–towards each other, with each other and for each other….Please join us for National Week of Conversation and practice what it means to #ListenFirst.
Join us! For a Conversation during National Week of Conversation!
