Arena Civil Dialogues

September 16, 2019 5:30PM - July 13, 2020 5:30PM

You are invited to participate in a series of civil dialogues, launched by Arena Stage.

These dialogues seek to provide an opportunity for members of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan community to engage in discourse about major current issues. They also seek to demonstrate that people of very diverse viewpoints can have fruitful dialogues with one another. We hence assume that all participants have consented to heed the rules of civil dialogue, such as not attributing motives, not demonizing the other side, and showing that they truly listen to the other. There will be a few dialogue starters but most of the time will be dedicated to give and take among the participants. The dialogues will be moderated by Amitai Etzioni.

Monday, March 2, 2020 – Is less more? Can we find happiness in the pursuit of consumer goods? What are the alternatives?

Monday, May 18, 2020 – Diversity within unity. How we can do justice to minority groups and immigrants and nurture national unity?

Monday, July 13, 2020 – Changing hearts and minds. Can we ever reach those "who don't get it”? ?
