Back to all

It’s official! Thanks to many requests from educators and participants in the Unify Challenge College Bowl, students now have a chance to “go deep” into a single topic to practice critical civic skills in a one-on-one setting.
Meet the Deep Dive, Unify America’s second intercollegiate learning program in Unify America’s Civic Gym series.
The Deep Dive gives students a chance to explore their point of view in-depth on a single critical issue facing America today and to help a conversation partner explore theirs through active listening and follow-up questions. They’ll be able to deepen their understanding of the issue, develop a more nuanced point of view on the topic, practice supporting their opinion with facts and personal experience, and collaboratively brainstorm solutions to a societal problem.

A student arrived at the Unify Challenge nervous and over-prepared — and left with something she never expected: genuine connection.
Agreement was never the goal. Here's what 3,600 hours of student dialogue across 44 campuses taught us about real conversation.
Democracy, reimagined. 65 random Akronites are solving housing together... no fighting, just shared goals. This is deliberative democracy.
