About FFI Conversations

FFI’s Conversation Series brings international perspectives, local experience and thoughtful questions into the same room.

Community members meet at our Durham headquarters to hear from people whose work and lived experiences offer a different way of understanding the world.

Conversations are free and open to the public. Space is limited, so contact the team about the next gathering and reservation arrangements.

PERSPECTIVES WORTH MAKING TIME FOR

How the conversations work

The series creates space to explore international issues, meet local artists and organizations, and learn through personal stories.

A conversation can put a human experience beside a familiar headline. It can also leave you with a question that deserves more thought.

FROM THE CONVERSATION ARCHIVE

A Compassionate
Listening Journey.

Former FFI Board President Anne Romney shared her experience of a Compassionate Listening journey to Israel and Palestine.

Her presentation drew on personal narratives from Israelis and Palestinians, including people living in the West Bank and Gaza. It explored daily challenges and the courage involved in reaching across division.

The original event poster is preserved below as part of the series archive.

ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE ON LISTENING

Local conversations

The series also announced a conversation with Joel Berman and participants in the Compassionate Listening Project’s journeys to Alabama in 2020 and 2022.

Their proposed discussion brought together reflections on meeting people across the political spectrum, including Black civil rights activists and White conservative Republicans.

That event was postponed. Contact FFI for the current series schedule.
