TED talk speaker Özlem Cekic presents a blueprint for confronting racism, prejudice, and hatred. She calls her conflict resolution process “Dialogue Coffee.”
Familiarity and dialogue are the antidotes to intolerance and prejudice.
Özlem’s method of having coffee with people who send her hate mail has been recognized around the world and inspires listening, understanding, and an end to blind hatred.
When Özlem Cekic became the first Muslim MP in the Danish Parliament, her email inbox started flooding with hate mail and threats, and her first reaction was to delete and ignore each abusive message. But eventually, she decided to take a risk. She started replying to messages and inviting the senders to meet and engage in dialogue over coffee. What she discovered was that she could create change in the people who sent her hate mail, understand where their anger came from, and build friendships through finding common ground.
It is possible to have a conversation with anyone if you:
Listen and focus on what you have in common instead of your differences
Praise your counterpart for having the courage to have this conversation
Recognize the other person’s emotions and feelings, even if you don’t agree with them
Distance yourself from the other person’s attitude, but never the human and their humanity
