Re-Launching Dialogue Nights

The first ever virtual Dialogue Nights was held on March 5, 2021! More than 40 college students and young professionals joined us to explore the theme, “Author a New Chapter: You are the Playwright!” The event featured icebreaker activities to warm up participants' dialogue muscles, a special presentation by two youth committee members on Amanda Gorman's inaugural poem and Center founder Daisaku Ikeda's 2018 joint youth appeal, and small group discussions. Read the full event recap here!
