Here are some basic reminders!!
📌 Session introduction: At the start of the session, we will provide some introductory remarks about how the club will work, and so we can all meet one another.
🧩 Discussion partner matching: All club members will be matched with a different conversation partner each session. If there are uneven numbers, you may have two conversation partners.
🤝 Breakout discussions: After the session introduction, everyone will switch to their breakout discussion. Your discussion will be unmoderated, so you will start when your partner arrives in the breakout.
🗺️ Discussion Guide: We will have a topic-specific discussion guide for each session to help guide conversation. You can review the schedule of topics and each discussion guide by going to the session page.
⏰ Session length: The breakout discussions are scheduled for 45 minutes but you can discuss as long as you want!
✅ Stay on topic: Please make sure to stay on topic. If you and your partner run out of things to discuss, it’s okay to end the discussion early. You will not be returning to the main group when your conversation is over.
🤔 Make the discussion your own: You probably won’t have time to answer all the guide questions so pick and choose! Feel free to also bring in your own questions and ideas outside of the guide.
📝 Survey: This mandatory survey will appear at the end of your session to fill out. This must be filled out for you to get credit for the session in your Dialogues portfolio.
🤸♂️ Have fun: There is no preparation needed for this event. These conversations are meant to be casual, in addition to being meaningful. We hope you enjoy it!
As a reminder, if you will need to miss any Dialogue Club sessions, please inform one of the club presidents in advance.
