Make a difference!

Do something to promote better listening and help us become better humans by participating in the International Day of Listening.

The theme for this year is: “Listen—even when you disagree”

.

Let’s aim for over 100,000 participants.  (The population now is over 7.4 billion, but let’s get started!)

Get the word out through your email contacts and social media sites, and pass the website and any appropriate information on to the schools in your area, to local government, local businesses, organizations, churches, etc…
