Can We Talk? Civil Dialogue for Troubled Times

Come together with college students from around America to discuss questions such as:

  1. The proper role, if any, of Greek life on campus today?
  2. Can you say what you really think in class or around campus?
  3. America’s role in the world – and when, if ever, should it involve military force?
  4. Meritocracy – Do we have one? Do we want it?

Get dialogue tips you can use on campus, online, with family.

What previous participants are saying:

Best political discussion I ever had.

Eye-opening. Refreshing. I loved it!

Students can win prizes for inviting friends, filling out a survey.

This event is limited to college students. If you are not a student and would like to attend as a non-participant, please contact the SNF Paideia Program by email at info@snfpaideia.upenn.edu.

Sponsored by the Gamba Family Red and Blue Exchange, an initiative of the SNF Paideia Program at the University of Pennsylvania. Made possible by the Gamba Family and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. Event designed and led by the PA Project for Civic Engagement.
