💬 Why is it so hard to talk to each other?
In her speech, @MeredithGCP explores why meaningful conversations feel harder than ever. But with rising global crises and the pull of ideological bubbles, what we actually need to do is to not accept the premise of polarization, but to invite disagreement in and greet it with understanding.
What helps you engage in difficult conversations?👇

For His Highness The Aga Khan IV, pluralism means embracing differences. His belief that diversity strengthens society has guided AKF since our establishment in 1967.
We are committed to carrying this legacy forward as we build a future where we all thrive together.

The architecture of violence in Sudan and Eastern DRC follows old patterns: domestic actors' political ambitions interwoven with weak states and foreign interests. Destruction devours institutions and people. 7 million displaced in Sudan. Goma teeters 🧵

I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about how to build rules and habits that allow us to disagree deeply while still being able to live together.
On December 5, I’ll talk more about this idea – called pluralism – at our third annual @ObamaFoundation Democracy Forum. Learn more at obama.org/2024-democracy-for…

It’s a privilege to be moderating a panel discussion on November 11th, titled “Cohesion in a Fractured World: Interfaith Innovation Amid a Multicrisis” @ParisPeaceForum. Together, we’ll explore how faith & culture can be a catalyst for understanding and unity. We’ll tackle essential questions: How can we turn diversity into a foundation for unity? Can interfaith cohesion lead us to solutions for today’s #multicrises?
