Alliance/Members Meeting – One Small Step
September 23 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm EDT
Host Organization: Building Bridges Alliance
State/Region: ME
This month we are partnering with One Small Step for an interactive workshop.
Created by StoryCorps, One Small Step is an effort to remind the country of the humanity in all of us, even those with whom we disagree. The initiative brings strangers with different political beliefs together for a conversation—not to debate politics—but to get to know each other as people for a simple, personal, conversation. One Small Step brings communities together, one conversation at a time.
One Small Step is based on contact theory, which states that a meaningful interaction between people with opposing views can help turn “thems” into “us-es.” Its scientific and systematic approach is supported by a group of advisors that include scientists, researchers, and psychologists. Since its launch in 2021, over 4,500 people across 40 states have participated in a One Small Step conversation, including 50 people here in Maine.
