Listen "Better Disagreements Make Stronger Communities"
Episode Synopsis
How can we help young people talk with each other instead of at each other — and help schools move from a fear of “getting it wrong” to genuine inclusion for Jewish students?In our latest episode of Boston Leaders Unplugged, JCRC’s Spencer Cronin talks with Shira Hoffer, founder and executive director of The Viewpoints Project, a nonprofit teaching young people to “disagree curiously.” Together, they explore how thoughtful dialogue can change classroom culture — why goals matter (debate vs. dialogue), how small phrasing shifts (“do you think” beats “don’t you think”) can make a big difference, and why near-peer mentors often have the greatest impact.Check out more from The Viewpoints Project.
