HOW TO PARTICIPATE
It’s easy to get started. All you need is a disagreement you want to understand better.
STEP-BY-STEP
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.
