Now in its seventh year, National Week of Conversation (NWOC) continues to serve as a platform for those exhausted by division and hatred, who are hungry to lean in with others to mobilize change. This year, we are working in partnership with the National Governors Association to inspire all Americans - including our leaders - to re-learn and model how to “Disagree Better.” NWOC offers opportunities for all Americans to bring their passion for issues and concerns for our future into an environment of curiosity, empathy and listening across differences. Experiences will be hosted between April 15-21, 2024 by organizations committed to bridging divides. The skills learned and opportunities presented will inspire conversations that can rekindle relationships in our homes, communities and workplaces. But NWOC 2024 is more than just a week of events. It is an opportunity to encourage year-round connection and collaboration towards bridging divides in America, as well as catalyze new ways of doing so. The toxic division in our nation is a problem far too wicked for any one organization to address alone. It will take all hands on deck to achieve the types of culture shift and impact needed to save our country from tearing apart. This year NWOC is all about achieving greater impact together. NWOC 2024: What is our focus? The vast majority of Americans will be looking for a way out of toxic, tribal politics in 2024. They will be searching for alternatives to the divisive rhetoric and demonization over differences that has infiltrated our communities, workspaces, and even our homes. Americans will be looking to our leaders - politicians like Governor Spencer Cox leading the Disagree Better campaign of the NGA, as well as neighbors leading in their own communities - to set the example for a healthier way of disagreeing. NWOC 2024 will serve as a beacon of hope and display of strength by the American people as we create, promote, and engage in activities that exemplify healthier disagreement. The experiences hosted throughout the week of April 15-21, 2024 will be produced by teams of bridging organizations and collaborative partners. They will offer experiences, skills, and opportunities that can help Americans embrace their own roles as leaders and drive behavior change from toxic division toward increased curiosity and cohesion.
