Can we change the world through better conversation? We believe we can. Ask Big Questions helps diverse groups of people explore the questions we all share...the deep questions at the heart of life. Through conversation and action, change can happen. How? ASK. Ask the questions we all wonder about. SHARE. Tell your story and listen to those of others. DO. Build a stronger community by working together. AskBigQuestions began as a Campus Entrepreneurship Initiative at Fiedler Hillel and Northwestern University. It is now a national initiative of Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, and is generously supported by a grant from the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust.
AskBig Questions Fellows promote discourse by building a social network of students through one-on-one dialogue and on a larger scale, by leading the Ask Big Questions Campaign. Ask Big Questions Fellows work with their supervisors to generate relevant questions to engage their peers in dialogue. Utilizing the questions they have generated, and the social networks they have built, each fellow hosts two Ask Big Questions conversations and two Ask Big Questions Forums throughout the year. Additionally, Ask Big Questions works closely with Destination Detroit (DD) to develop meaningful conversation guides for DD participants.
