The flourishing, functional democracy of tomorrow requires that today’s students are provided with a solid foundation to develop the skills that will allow them to effectively collaborate across lines of disagreement.  The National Week of Conversation invites those responsible for these students– parents, policy-makers, teachers, and school board members– to participate in courageous conversations and to learn how to lead this work among students. Developing the ability to engage across differences of perspectives and values reinforces core educational goals while positioning students to become effective leaders and constructive participants in a resilient and thriving democracy tomorrow.

Our collective of local, state, and national non-profits collaborating towards the National Week of Conversation invites those responsible for these students – parents, policy-makers, teachers, and school board members– join us. How?
