HHF’s President & CEO, Antonio Tijerino attended the Aspen Institute’s “Civil Discourse In a Fractured Age” event on November 7th and 8th at the Loft in Washington, D.C.

The Aspen Institute is an educational and policy studies organization based in Washington, D.C.. It’s mission is to foster leadership based on enduring values and to provide a nonpartisan venue for dealing with important issues.

“I spent the last 2 days with a truly remarkable group of leaders assembled by the Aspen Institute,” said Antonio.

Topics discussed included conveying civil discourse through stories, how technology and media shape experiences within civil discourse, positive and negative considerations associated with technology and social media, how young people engage in civil discourse and iterate design: deriving to scale, diversity and outcomes.

The Apen Institute has been able to address complex problems with the goal of making an impact beyond the conference room. They have executed by furthering and improving actions day to day. The Institute has campuses in Aspen, Colorado and New York City. The Institute exchanges ideas through nonpartisan initiatives that take action on different challenges, conferences and events that hold opportunities for the public to engage with experts and a network of partners that address global challenges that develop value-based leaders.
