Let's TalkIn times of crisis or when dealing with divisive issues, the lack of a common space where people can gather to talk is sharply felt.
The Internet, with its one-to-one and many-to-many communication capabilities, seems an ideal environment in which to address this problem. While tools are now available that can meet this need, like Google Hangouts, barriers to their easy use have slowed their adoption. Nonetheless, the promise of these tools, to provide an ongoing space for dialogue, is clearly recognized. Through this project we aim to create a model and encourage the video dialogue format; host, promote, and disseminate dialogues online; and provide technical advise and best practices to users of the video dialogue. By creating a model for online video dialogue we will be able to work out processes (finding participants, getting them online, and assuring quality discussions) and share best practices with others so that the format can be easily replicated. |
