November 16 prompt: Can a person ever truly understand another person’s subjective perspective, or are we ultimately trapped in our own minds?
Experience the Harkness conversation method, facilitated by Champlain Valley Union High School students. Originating at Phillips Exeter Academy in the 1930s, this discussion-based approach emphasizes active engagement over passive listening. Participants and CVU students will sit together at an open table, collaboratively exploring texts, problems, and ideas. Join us to share your perspectives on an open-ended prompt.
