Join this Dialogue Club! This Club is a low-stakes, high-energy space where high-school students from around the world can talk about ideas on the big questions of our time. We jump on Zoom every other week and wrestle with one fresh topic for 60 minutes. Upcoming conversations: • Affirmative Action • Free Speech vs. Hate Speech • The Future of Capitalism • War and Foreign Intervention • Religious Identity in a Secular Age • Euthanasia and the Ethics of Life Show up for at least three sessions and we’ll craft a Dialogue Portfolio that highlights your best insights and reflections. You can drop it straight into college applications with universities that value critical thinking and real-world engagement. Spots are limited. The sign-up form takes about three minutes—pick your first topic, hit submit, and you’re in. Come hang out, push your perspective, and leave with stories (and a portfolio) you’ll actually want to share.

Welcome to [Dialogues](https://schoolhouse.world/dialogues)! In this session, we will be discussing Gun Control and using this [[discussion guide].](https://schoolhouse.world/redirect?code=8w0BA5IdTDKOzo52kojDG) Here’s some helpful information to help you prepare for your session: 📌 Session introduction: At the start of the session, the event host will provide some introductory remarks about how the session will work and tips for discussion. 🧩 Discussion partner matching: All participants will be matched with a conversation partner to discuss with. 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 can start when your partner arrives in the new Zoom link. 🗺️ Discussion Guide: You will have a topic-specific discussion guide for the session to help guide conversation. ⏰ 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: A 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!
