对话的可能 United in Diversity
2022 年 5 月 15 日｜May 15, 2022
生活在如今的公共空间里，你可能会有过这样的感觉：我们正在被巨大的信息漩涡裹挟着，周遭的信息一条接着一条地在弹出在我们的眼皮之下。我们快速地阅读、笼统地理解、再粗略地消化掉它们，却缺乏机会、时间、精力和意愿和身边的人开展讨论 —— 即便一件事和我们息息相关。
对比之下，沉默、回避、歧视、冲突在更多时候成为了我们的选择，我们愈发地习惯顺应着自己的直觉点开认同的信息，并在快速阅读的过程中不断加固自己原有的立场。在这样一个沟通空间正在逐步缩减的当下，对话还有可能吗？
通过这次活动，我们希望能与你一同发现对话的价值，探讨它在当下社会中的问题与可能，并试着思考我们每个人应该具备怎样的能力、带着怎样的意愿，才能重新投入到对话当中。
In today’s public life, you might often feel like you’re being swept up in an unstoppable tide of information. One push after another pops up in front of you—so you scroll, skim, and move on. But in doing so, you rarely have the time, the focus, or even the desire to truly talk with others— even when the subject at hand affects you directly.
As a result, silence, avoidance, defensiveness, and division often become our go-to reactions. We instinctively click on what we already agree with, and through fast scrolling, our beliefs grow stronger and more fixed. In a world where space for meaningful communication is shrinking, it’s fair to ask: is dialogue still possible?
This event invites you to rediscover the meaning of dialogue. Together, we’ll examine what’s standing in its way, imagine what might still be possible, and reflect on what each of us needs—in both ability and attitude—to step back into real, human conversation.
