Deep dives

One Small Step Initiative Aims to Foster Understanding Through Dialogue

One Small Step, an initiative by StoryCorps, brings together strangers with opposing political beliefs to engage in conversations not to debate but to understand each other's lives. Participants, matched based on shared human experiences rather than political views, are guided through the conversation by trained facilitators. By creating a space for these dialogues, StoryCorps aims to challenge the prevailing culture of division and foster mutual respect and understanding, one conversation at a time.
