My Country Talks
helps societies around the world to connect over the issues that divide
them. Our unique matching algorithm makes it easy for media, nonprofits
and governments to fight polarisation, arguably one of the most
important issues facing society today. We help break people out of their
filter bubbles, build empathy, and work to define common values that
strengthen democracy - all with just a conversation.
