Unity Talks-- sharing thoughts in community
UnityTalks include the following elements for Good Conversations:

* Diversity – Friends, neighbors, co-workers, members of community groups, strangers. The idea is to involve both people who share similar views -- and people who don't.
A structure –.A set beginning and ending time. usually 1- 1 1/2 hours.
Fair sharing: a chance – at the start and at the end - for each person in the group to speak in turn. No interruptions. No feedback. Not speaking is okay, too.
A Host who introduces the simple agreements and process, and keeps time.

A Set of Agreements includes :
Open-mindedness: listen to and have patience with all points of view.
Acceptance: suspend judgement as best you can.
Curiosity: seek to understand rather than persuade.
Discovery: question old assumptions, look for new insights.
Sincerity: speak for yourself about what has personal heart and meaning.
Brevity: go for honesty and depth but don't go on and on.

To help participants stay at ease, curious and inviting, and keep the conversation interesting,
Hosts may ask:
• (to open up interest & curiosity) Tell me more about…
• This is what I heard you say… is it what you meant?
• (if someone begins advocating for a fixed position) What led you to this point of view?
• (if someone begins campaigning for a candidate) What is most important you in a leader?
• (if there is agreement but little diversity) What if the opposite were true?
