Dialogue Across Lines (DiAL)

Dialogue Across Lines (DiAL) is a student-led club dedicated to fostering mindful, respectful, and productive conversations across differences. The club provides a space for members to practice the skills of active listening, thoughtful questioning, and open-minded discussion. The purpose of DiAL is not to persuade others or change opinions, but to create opportunities for understanding, empathy, and perspective-sharing. By cultivating these skills, members help bridge divides and strengthen our school community.

At each meeting, members will:

1. Learn and practice strategies for engaging in mindful dialogue, and apply these skills in structured, productive conversations on a chosen topic (political or otherwise)

2. Take turns leading discussions, ensuring that facilitation is student-driven rather than adult-directed
