Find a Conversation
Search or browse through our list of Conversations to find a topic and short text that is right for your community. Once you have found a Conversation that looks like a good fit, contact the scholar-facilitator with the provided contact information to discuss the Conversation's text and topic in more detail. Then arrange a date and time for your Conversation before you apply to the Council for funding.
What should I keep in mind while selecting a Conversation?
It is very important to read the short text that will be the topic of the Conversation before making your selection. This text will serve as the catalyst for discussion among participants so you should take into consideration the type, length, tone, and themes of the short text and how you expect your participants to relate to it.
