Teaching people to think critically, act responsibly and lead courageously.
YOU Can Make a Difference
Change begins with each and every one of us.
It takes dedication and perseverance. It takes courage. It takes a willingness to make tough choices, to challenge the status quo and dare to be different.
Change only happens when people are empowered to think critically. That’s where Conversation Builds Character comes in.
What if you could be that change?
“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change.” – Mahatma Gandhi
A Brighter Future Starts Now
Conversation Builds Character is an educational initiative aimed at encouraging individuals to embrace their role in creating a better future by learning from history, the present and one another.
What We Do
- We seek to expose and confront the human dynamics that lead to hatred and intolerance using the Holocaust and other genocides as a lens from which to explore the behavioral and societal conditions that lead to such atrocities,
- We challenge individuals to examine their thoughts, speech, actions and non-actions in light of historical examples of grave atrocities through education, reflection and conversation, so that they might better understand the consequences of their decisions.
- We invest in community programs that examine the events of this cruel and deadly history to help individuals understand the consequences of human behaviors – both in the past and the present day. It is crucial for people to learn from history in order to confront intolerance and end division in our society.
