Sharing from Sandy Sohcot, TWAICB Director Emeritus:
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
A few years ago, I connected with Bruno Annetta and learned about his involvement with Paradoxical Thinking. The World As It Could Be published a newsletter in August 2024 that details our conversations about Paradoxical Thinking and human rights education, available at theworldasitcouldbe.org/paradoxical-thinking-newsletter.
Over the last year, Bruno and I have discussed our mutual concerns about growing polarization over differing beliefs. We believe that Paradoxical Thinking offers a learning and communication process that can break through polarized situations to generate genuine curiosity in each other’s viewpoints and being open to new perspectives. This can be a most meaningful resource to support peaceful, productive, connections among people with differing beliefs.
Thanks to the enthusiastic response of Lotte Lüscher and Ivo Brughmans of the European Paradox Academy (europeanparadoxacademy.com/#who-we-are), Bruno and I will join them on September 30th, 2026 (10:30 am Pacific/1:30 pm Eastern) for the webinar Depolarizing Beliefs Through Paradoxical Thinking.
Please sign up now for the webinar and join us for an engaging discussion that offers information and insights about paradox, polarization and ways to more positively connect. As the Beatles said in Hey Jude, “We can begin to make it better.”
