<p class="MsoNormal">These one-time, ninety-minute conversations will provide participants the opportunity to reflect on what stories and influences shape their thinking about death and dying and to hear different perspectives and ideas from fellow community
members. They will also serve as practice for future conversations with family and/or friends about death and dying, will strengthen participants’ sense of community support and collective engagement on these issues, and will provide access to resources to
help participants consider how to shape a positive approach to death and dying.<o:p></o:p></p>

Oregon Humanities anticipates scheduling thirty conversations across the state, between July 1, 2015 and January 31, 2016. We plan to sponsor five programs in each of the following six regions of the state: Northern Coast, Willamette Valley, Gorge/Central,
Eastern, Southern, and Southern Coast. These free programs will be geared toward public audiences (ages 15+).<br>

For each conversation, Oregon Humanities will sponsor:<o:p></o:p></p>
