The Civil Conversations Club meets every month online. We hold conversations with one another using Street Epistomology, a set of tools that use the Socratic method. The goal is to have open-minded conversations so that both conversational partners learn. We consider a Civil Conversation to be a starting point; we aspire to be kind, compasionate, and empathetic as we engage in dialogue with one another.

The meeting link is on Jitsi. You may need to install the Jitsi app the first time, but you don't need to create an account.

For background, see slide presentation: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1udF8Q_eLIVR44k5Smj3Ji0n_m249wC0JkMuhy1NVStI/edit#slide=id.gf13d625539_0_374

These techniques are based on the book *How To Have Impossible Conversations*. In this book, the conversational techniques are called Street Epistemology (https://streetepistemology.com/). It is NOT required to read the book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43885240-how-to-have-impossible-conversations
