Join the campus team from StoryCorps’ One Small Step to learn about their partnership with the Dialogue Project to encourage one-on-one conversations across differences at Dartmouth. Practice reflective listening skills, then pair up for a mini-OSS conversation with a fellow sophomore. In breakout rooms, you’ll practice your listening skills in real time as your partner shares some of their life experiences, then they will do the same for you. We’ll conclude with an opportunity to reflect and learn other ways you can get involved in this important work.
