About

New members always welcome! 
Hello, and welcome to our Dialogue Club! We're one of the longest-running clubs at this point in time. Please feel free to drop in whenever you're able!
﻿
Our goal is to bring people together to have open and collaborative discussions about modern topics and issues. We value participant input, and your feedback will help us decide topics for upcoming sessions.
﻿
By joining a Dialogue Club, you can meet new students from around the world, improve your debate and communication skills, and play a role in fostering a positive learning environment! Additionally, by participating in a Dialogues Club (3+ sessions), you'll have the opportunity to build a Dialogues Portfolio, which can boost your college applications!
﻿
Every session we'll open breakout rooms of 2-3 members to discuss the session's topic in a small group. A discussion guide will be provided with some guiding questions and an overview of main stances on the topic. Please be respectful of the other participant's view(s) and find perspectives that challenge your own stance. There will be a post-session survey where you can give feedback on your partners (this is where portfolio feedback comes from, so please be respectful and insightful to help your fellow participants out)! We hope to see you there!
