The goal is to simply share experiences and hopefully reach a mutual understanding. Past topics include national identity, power and privilege, and race.

Following each Fletcher Conversation, the working group discusses the issues raised and sets out to create ways to resolve them. It’s open to any member of the Fletcher community.
