Meet new people and meaningfully engage with peers who hold different worldviews over your favorite coffee. You’ll be able to connect with other students and faculty members from your college for a series of three coffee chats. This is a space to get curious, promote inclusivity, and widen your community on campus. Our conversation guides will open up discussions that can help partners traverse religious faith, secular beliefs, morality, and god.
MEET NEW PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT VIEWS
The app will assign you a coffee chat partner who is a peer and member of your university but holds a different worldview, ensuring your conversations are intellectually stimulating and, at times, challenging. Participating in Veritas Coffee Chats will expand your network of friends on campus and you’ll be able to enjoy coffee in the process!
ENGAGE MEANINGFULLY
We hope that participants both give and gain from their coffee chats. By being prepared with friendliness, an open mind, and conversation prompts, we hope you’ll be able to bring a meaningful perspective to your coffee chat partner. Similarly, you’ll have the opportunity to explore and nurture your curiosity by inquiring about your partner’s faith, religious and non-religious background, and views about life.
This isn’t a space for debate, but instead, amicable conversations aiming to explore life’s big questions while we build new friendships and create a college community marked by intellectual humility, truth-seeking and generous dialogue.
COFFEE ON US
Fancy a free coffee? During in-app promotional periods, you can claim a free gift card for a local coffeehouse drink at your coffee chats after filling out a short feedback and takeaways form.
Since 1992 The Veritas Forum has invited university communities to dialogue with respect and curiosity about the ideas that shape our lives. We hope the conversations facilitated through this app will foster connections with people from different worldviews and contribute to building a university community where participants can bring all of themselves rather than compartmentalizing or filtering their genuine views and questions about life’s timeless questions.
