Cortico offers a variety of conversation outputs to help our partners tell the story of their community and provide participants an impactful way to hear and be heard.

Highlights

Highlights are excerpts of conversations that participants identify as important or worth sharing. When creating a highlight, participants consider the following questions:

• What parts of this conversation should a person hear to get a sense of what this group talked about?
• What parts of this conversation could be played in a different conversation to foster understanding of the views and lives of this group?
