Activity: Deep Conversations Dinner

Brussels: Tuesday, 19 October 2021

Do you ever feel bored by all the small talk that comes with social events, meeting new people and expanding your social circle? Have you ever thought how nice it would be to skip the small talk and dive right into a deep, meaningful conversation with an interesting person? After more than a year of lockdown and the resulting limitation of meeting up with others, wouldn't it be great if you could really get to know new people?

If the above resonates with you, please join us at the Brussels Imagination Club for a Deep Conversations Dinner. After a brief introduction, you will be paired up with someone you don't know and given a set of thoughtful questions to ask each other over dinner. Then skip the small talk and immediately choose questions, from the question set, to ask each other. Feel free to ask follow up questions and let the conversation wander. You can even ask your own deep questions. The only rule is that your conversations are completely confidential and you will not share your conversation partner's answers with anyone else.

Afterwards, we will gather together again for a debriefing and feedback session.

The Deep Conversations Dinner will be held at The Sister Café in the centre of Brussels. They offer a selection of dishes, many vegetarian and vegan, as well as beer, wine and soft drinks. Please order at least a drink and ideally a meal or a snack.

Notes

The Deep Conversation Dinner will be overseen by Imagination Club founders, Jeffrey Baumgartner and Andy Whittle.
