Sixth MAD Symposium | Mind the Gap
26-27 August 2018
At a fraught time in the world, when toxicity of politics makes it nearly impossible for people of differing perspectives to talk about actual issues, the sixth MAD Symposium “Mind the Gap” worked to bridge the divide between where we are now and where we strive to be. The solution, we believe, is to begin our discussion from common ground. In allowing ourselves to be vulnerable and make room for candid conversations, we can strive to improve, to do better, to keep moving, to stay curious, and to bring people together to close the gap.
