The Chattarati

We encourage open and light chat on interesting social, cultural and political issues. 
We welcome diverse viewpoints and perspectives and encourage all members to treat the experience of hearing from people who think and understand the world differently to oneself as opportunities for personal and cultural growth, rather than as threats to our or other groups' identities. 
We are interested in how people make sense of the world, and how people may arrive at different positions on one or multiple topics or issues despite having access to the same facts and information. 
We are interested in finding common ground across political and social divides, but also in how to live with and work with those who hold different perspectives peacefully and productively. 

We are a very young organisation, and happy to be shaped by our members as to what, how and when we go about having engaging, interesting and civil discussions between people who express different opinions and ideas to each other.
