Through Free Conversation FreeConvo Hopes to Build Communities
Alyson Wyers — November 20, 2014 — Social Good
FreeConvo is a social movement that connects real people in real environments by giving them a platform for free conversation. The community-building movement is currently in place in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City and London. The idea is to encourage interaction between strangers, whom through speaking to each other, can meet new friends and broaden their perspectives.
Described as "a community center for modern fast-paced society," FreeConvo not only helps people with their social skills and the art of conversation, but can also do a lot to help people and make the world a better place. So far there are over 50 locations and more than 80,000 free conversations that have taken place (with 7000 plus pictures to prove it).
