The main objective of this practice, promoted by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, is to create a safe public space for dialogue between people with opposing political views in a context marked by intense polarization, especially since the pandemic. Inspired by the German model “My Country Talks”, the initiative fosters one-on-one meetings between individuals with differing opinions, with the aim of reducing tensions and promoting mutual understanding.

The practice relies on a matching system that connects participants with divergent views based on their responses to questions about controversial topics. These questions are shared through partner media outlets, which invite the public to register. Once matched, participants engage in facilitated or informal conversations, having been prepared with tools like board games that help simulate the exchange.
