🫱🏽🫲🏼 Host a Local Circle or Forum in 4 Weeks
💡 The Goal: Create a safe space for open conversation about freedom, democracy, peace, or citizen rights — with just a few people.
✅ STEP 1: Choose Your Focus
Pick a topic that’s meaningful and relevant:
- ⚖️ Democracy under pressure?
- 🕊️ What does peace mean today?
- 🗳️ Why voting matters?
- 👣 How can we take small actions that lead to big change?
Tactic: Frame your topic as a question. Example: “How can we protect freedom together?”
✅ STEP 2: Gather Your Circle
Invite 2–6 people you trust and respect:
- 👥 Friends, neighbors, colleagues, classmates — all welcome
- 📝 Send a simple invite: the topic, time, and what to bring
- 📍 Choose a casual location: your home, park, café, or Zoom
Tactic: Keep it informal and human — not a debate, a dialogue.
✅ STEP 3: Host + Reflect
Make it simple, open, and consistent:
- 🗓️ Host 1 weekly session (30–60 minutes)
- 🧠 Use prompts like:
- “What freedoms do we take for granted?”
- “What role should citizens play today?”
- 📘 End each session with a takeaway or next step
