Dinner Topic:
How do we raise kids to be aware, active, and change-makers?
Description:
We’re parents that are doing our best to raise two male teens who are keenly aware of inequities and injustices in the world. This is a challenge to do while staying rooted in hope and optimism, which they have taught us is essential for their young and growing minds. How do we do this well? How do we create change-makers and justice-seekers to be more than performative? And to be deeply informed without losing hope? Let's share a conversation over dinner about the ways we're trying to intentionally influence the children in our lives.
About the Hosts:
Kim & Harvey Radersma are middle-aged white folks and starting to dress like it. They've been wandering North America for almost 30 years together in search of a simple life. They love to explore new ways of being in community that aren't rooted in capitalistic, patriarchal, white supremacist footholds. Some people say Harv sounds like Matthew McConaughey, and is pretty funny (Kim is writing this). Kim is witty, charming and creative (in my mind), in reality she can be awkward and makes her children cringe often. Their teen boys are famous eye-rollers and aspiring professional critics of everything.

FAQs
How many people can I expect to meet at a Digital Dine-In?
Each DIgital Dine-In is capped at 10 guests. We keep the dinner list small so that people have a chance to engage in meaningful conversations. Our objective is to create a space that promotes the practice of togetherness and hospitality.
How do we promote brave and safer dinner conversations?
All of our dinner hosts are skilled facilitators and experienced in the art of hospitality. We support and resource our dinner hosts before and after their Digital Dine-In experience. We've also created Digital Dine-In Table Manners, which we invite everyone to review and practice during the dinners. Read a PDF copy our of our Digital Dine-In Table Manners here.
