Transcript of District 19 : Where Dialogue Meets
03/03/2013
Current Situation
People are segregated emotionally because..
• They might be fearful to open their territories to begin conversations.
• They might be skeptical to a friendly conversation initiated by a stranger.
• They might not be able to identify those who share similar interests.
Problem Statement
1) Lack of a social interaction platform for sharing resources that can create bonding between people who are originally separated by class, culture, language, generation yet share commonalities.
2) Current culture of complaining without constructive problem solving actions toward deep rooted social problems.
