Impossible Conversations Club Meeting

There is a way to have open minded open hearted conversations with people who believe very different things than you do. These skills have existed for 2,300 years. The Socratic method is a way of talking people so that both conversational partners learn.

The Impossible Conversations club is a way of breaking this down into simple (you didn’t hear me say easy) steps.

This is short on theory and long on practice. Including running through trial conversations as a part of the workshop.

Below is the link to the slide presentation that we will be using for the role play training part of the fun.

These techniques are based on a book called How To Have Impossible Conversations. In this book the conversational techniques are called Street Epistemology. It is NOT required to read the book.
