inspiring meaningful, constructive dialogue across divides

What
this is

We live in a time when relationships can fracture over politics, religion, or ideology. Sometimes, these divides grow so deep they feel impossible to cross.

This project is about choosing connection instead of division. It’s about proving that even in the most polarized moments, conversation can be a bridge.

Help us reach 1001 Conversations in 2026!

how it works

1001 Conversations is about creating real, meaningful dialogue across divides in 2026.

Every conversation counts toward our collective goal: 1001 conversations in one year. You can be part of this movement.

How to Participate

1. Find Someone to Talk With

Choose someone whose perspective differs from yours. It could be a friend, family member, neighbor, colleague, or someone new.

2. Invite Them

Reach out with curiosity and respect. Use our invitation scripts or write your own. The goal is to create a safe space for listening and sharing.

3. Choose Your Format

  • In-person meeting

  • Video or phone call

  • Written exchange (email or chat)

Pick what works best for you.

4. Make the Pledge

Agree to the Constructive Conversation Pledge:

  • Listen with curiosity

  • Speak respectfully

  • Seek understanding, not agreement

5. Have the Conversation

Use our conversation guide if you like, or keep it freeform. Focus on sharing perspectives, asking questions, and listening deeply.

6. Count Your Conversation

After the conversation, submit a short reflection or confirmation to help us track progress toward 1001 conversations in 2026. Every conversation brings us closer to the goal—and you can see your impact.

7. Share & Inspire (Optional)

Share your story, photo, certificate, or reflection to inspire others. Your conversation contributes to the movement and shows what’s possible when people choose dialogue over division.
