Facing the isolation we imposed on ourselves to try and contain the pandemic, protecting the most vulnerable among us, many are looking for ways to experience a sense of community, for an opportunity to have a meaningful conversation.
We would like to make our modest contribution, and we will be organizing online meetings we call “Motivational Dialogue Sessions”. The format is simple: a guest speaker will deliver a presentation of 10 to 15 minutes, and a conversation will follow.
Recordings of the sessions are available on our YouTube Channel. You can watch them below.
