Co-founder of the group says it encourages university students to” come together to address problems.”
A brand-new organization called” Common Ground Campus” is assisting individuals in “blaze a route toward restoring politeness by hosting unique situations.”
It replaces contentious debate with “bridging the gap” [through]powerful communication and energetic collaboration,” according to its website.
The College Fix was given more details about the group’s objectives and software by the co-founders.
The organization was founded by Felisa Blazek and Brent Hamachek via email to encourage young people to “interview effectively, consider thoroughly, and come together to address problems instead of arguing over distinctions.”
He also serves as an executive with Human Activities and as a consultant for Turning Point USA in liberal social work.
According to Hamachek, Common Ground is “focused on teaching young people how to find their own words and show it in a positive way on social media and in their life.”
The couple wanted to “encourage common sense meetings again” and have “young students talking to each other so that their voices can be heard,” according to Blazek. Because younger generations have a greater influence over younger years than them, it has been incredibly useful.
She followed with:
Students [at our events ] understood, in real time, that what they had previously known about the University as their new home out of isolation was the result of self-segregation. It required a lot of confidence, sincerity, and willingness to try.
As part of the AmeriCan250 program, these activities are organized through the BridgeWorks system. It features activities like pop-up theaters and shore clean-ups.
In Rogers Park’s northern edge, Common Ground hosted a shore clean-up on April 12th. Students from Loyola University in the community and near Northwestern University, which edges Rogers Park, joined forces to clear up the beach.
This event is in line with the BridgeWorks program initiative, which teaches students how to become future leaders through vodcasts, electronic recording studios, and contests.
Imagine a tale that is so strong that it awakens the spirit of the United States, among other exhilarating examples of modern heroes who seized their freedoms and lived extraordinary lives, according to the website.
A student in Ohio was inspired by this programme, and Hamachek shared a tale about how she organized a judgment-free open debate party at her school.
” Then that’s accomplishment,” you say! said Hamacak.
The Red, White, n’ Blue Tour, which aims to encourage uniting campaigns and develop civil discourse, hosts the system and initiative under the Red, White, n’ Blue Tour.
We hope that the projected fear of perceived differences over beliefs is diminished as more and more people come together in the spirit of finding popular values, according to Blazek.
Hamachek continued,” Kids if ] take a breath, stop for a moment, and listen for a little longer to individuals with opposing perspectives.”
” We have two great political mistakes, and our youth is one of them.” The first is,” We have made all political,” he wrote.
The second is that we have equated people who support us on certain issues as being” good people” and those who disagree as being “bad people.” In fact, there is hardly any connection between a person’s viewpoints on a subject and their daily life.
Editor’s note: Turning Point USA’s Matt Lamb and Hamachek have recently worked on writing assignments.
Further: In 65 years, Trump appears to be the only president not invited to address Notre Dame’s graduation.
