Use any of these questions to learn about your dinner companions and get the conversation going at your table.

‍

#1

Tell your life story in one minute.

#2

Is there a particular food or meal that means "home" to you? What is it — and why?

#3

Who are your people? What does belonging to a community mean to you?

#4

Who in your life has been your greatest teacher?

OR

What's the best lesson you've ever been taught, and by whom?

#5

Describe the moment, recent or long passed, in which you've been made to feel unwelcome, unsafe, unworthy, and threatened.

Then describe a moment, recent or long passed, in which you were made to feel the opposite — in which you felt fully seen and heard and at ease.

Follow-up: How can we create more of the latter moments in our community?

#6

What can we do to create a more unified, inclusive community? How do we overcome the things that divide us?

#7

What is your best "fun fact" about another culture you grew up in, spent time with, or learned about?
