Vermont Public is taking the principles of StoryCorps’ One Small Step on the road in 2025 and partnering with AuSable Valley Grange in Keeseville, NY.
Join us for this free event and learn how to bridge the political divide by guiding people through conversations that seek common ground, and elevate the humanity in one another.
We’ll start the evening with pizza; then following the One Small Step training we will pair up attendees for short conversations to practice what you’ve learned. We hope you will walk away with the skills to have more productive conversations.
One Small Step brings people with different views together to record a conversation — not to debate politics — but simply to get to know each other as people. The initiative hopes to combat the polarizing effects of news and social media just by talking to each other one-on-one again. Because when we approach each other with curiosity, we realize we have more in common than we think.
