Deep Dive: Introduction

How do we create space — emotionally and intellectually — to listen to other points of view and experiences? How do we share our own ideas without fear or judgment? And how can these questions help us to view problems systemically, in all their complexity? This Deep Dive Introduction offers a selection of our resources and activities to help you get started and is designed to guide your engagement with any Doha Debates production, be it a live debate, a podcast or other media as you explore complex global issues. Each lesson also includes links to other related Deep Dive learning materials from our Better Conversations and Systems Thinking modules.
