Welcome to our Dialogue Club!!! We are excited for you to be a part of our discussions! Don’t worry if you’re uncomfortable with discussing—our dialogue club is a welcoming space where everyone grows at their own pace, and your voice matters just as much as anyone else's. 🙃 Our club's focus will be a range of social issues addressing government policy, societal ethics and the role of technology in the future. We will talk about how we can elicit change within our communities by addressing the issues through speech and dialogue. Our dialogue club runs every two weeks to discuss a new topic. By participating in 3+ Dialogue sessions, you will get a Dialogues portfolio you can submit with your college applications to our university partners. Below, we will post our topic which will be covered in our weeks together: Session 1: Social Media & Youth Session 2: Free Speech vs Hate Speech Session 3: Euthanasia & Assisted Dying Session 4: Immigration Session 5: Universal Basic Income Session 6: Artificial Intelligence

In this series, we are focusing on rising freshman, sophomores, and any student is interested in or thinking about competing in Congress in the upcoming season.

We will be covering basics of the event as well as strategies to success and be able to answer questions about the event.
