There's one on "The Power of Play" that I'm interested in, but that falls into the adult programming. Take a look at the programs when you get a minute. There's discounting when you book more than one. Let me know what you think!</div>

<br>
Oregon Humanities is pleased to announce the new 2014-15 Conversation Project catalog, featuring 33 programs covering topics such as surveillance, agriculture, disability, education, guns, and sports.<br>
<br>
What is the Conversation Project?<br>
<br>
The Conversation Project offers Oregon nonprofit and community organizations low-cost, humanities-based public discussion programs about provocative issues and ideas. Discussions last sixty to ninety minutes and are led by trained conversation facilitators who connect the subject to participants? experiences and to the local community, and challenge participants to think in new ways without advocating a particular perspective.<br>
<br>
Why conversation?<br>
<br>
If we hope to make real strides in building just communities, we need to develop practices that help us trust one another. We need to see and understand the world from the perspectives of others. We also need to develop the communication skills required to solve deep problems. In support of these practices, Oregon Humanities developed the Conversation Project; we believe that conversation is a powerful medium to invite diverse perspectives, explore challenging questions, and strive for just communities.<br>
<br>
Why should my organization host a Conversation Project?<br>
<br>
Nonprofit and community groups have reported that hosting Conversation Projects helps them meet their own educational and community-based missions. The program accomplishes this by doing the following:<br>
<br>
Providing high-quality, affordable, and accessible public programming<br>
Offering experienced facilitation and knowledge of a topic<br>
Modeling open-minded, exploratory discussion about challenging topics<br>
Attracting diverse public audiences and engaging new individuals to the host?s work<br>
Connecting big ideas to local/regional communities and to individual experiences<br>
Inspiring continued learning and inquiry on the part of participants<br>
<br>
Apply before September 30 for Conversation Project programs taking place between November 2014 and February 2015.
