Each conversation followed the same format. Participants had access to a range of pre-conversation materials as well as post-conversation summaries that we made available online.

Here’s a sample of what these conversations looked like.

Homepage: Portal to conversation materials for PARTICIPANTS

Each conversation page included:

• a video interview with the conversation leader and some background information;
• pre-conversation materials (eg pre-reading, reflection questions);
• the conversation protocol; and
• the opportunity to engage online (discussion forum).

Post-conversation reflections

Following each conversation, facilitators provided a summary of their small group conversation to participants.

This wordle is just one of the ways we did that.

 

 

This is just a snapshot of one conversation. To help you plan your conversation series, we have created a project timeline.
