This can be useful. I recommend studying this and applying it's guidance in your community. Pick your issue, study, find a place ( your home, school, restaurant, coffee shop, et al), prepare, invite, execute. Your community will be the better for your effort. Read on and let me know how it goes.
Intro
We started Spirited Dialogues in NYC with a few simple ideas: bring together folks with different viewpoints in an casual spot, toss out a topic, maybe prep guests with materials or a presenter, and open up the discussion using a couple of rules: “be nice” and “try not to talk more than a minute.”
It worked like a charm.
Getting a Spirited Dialogue started in your hood won’t take much—an interest in open dialogue is all that’s needed.
This Spirited Dialogue “tool kit” shows you how easy it is. If you’re already a natural organizer or host/hostess, we’re probably not going to tell you anything new. If you’re inner organizer is just beginning to bust out, however, we have a tip or two to steer you in the right direction.
Also included in the SD kit:
Sample readings and fact sheets (from past and future SDs)
Step IV—Getting a presenter or two?
Sample readings, fact sheets and chartsy stuff
