A program that teaches college students how to have difficult conversations across deep differences. Students learn dialogue skills, study challenging topics like the Israel-Palestine conflict, meet guest speakers, and may take trips to learn firsthand. The program helps students talk respectfully about hard topics and builds skills they can use in school, work, and life. Currently at UNC-Chapel Hill with plans to expand to more colleges.

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.
Rainer Maria Rilke
