THIS EVENT IS CURRENTLY SOLD OUT

Part of the CHA's Difficult Diaolgues: Community Conversations series and babyÖ±²¥app Chautauqua's Ìý²õ±ð°ù¾±±ð²õ

As we begin 2024, the Center for Humanities & the Arts (CHA) and are hosting a community conversation about how we form opinions, and what happens when we confront opposing views.

The brings together local voices to explore complex topics, fostering a mutual understanding and a respectful discourse. Difficult Dialogues events aim to create a space for grappling with tough subjects that people may find difficult or uncomfortable to talk about. These events are not debates but platforms for thoughtful exchange.

Our purpose is to hold dialogues on topics considered difficult, provocative, or controversial, among constituents that may have strong conflicting views. Our objective is NOT to necessarily agree, fix anything, prove anyone right or wrong, or alter anyone’s position. 

We are committed to fostering productive dialogues in the hopes that minds and hearts might expand. We ask that you:

1. Keep an open mind 
2. Be respectful of others 
3. Listen with the intent to understand 
4. Speak your own truth

We expect to experience discomfort when talking about hard things. Remain engaged and recognize that the discomfort can lead to problem-solving and authentic understanding.
