What is MismatchTM for Schools?
Expose your students to the world without leaving your classroom.
mismatch (n.) – a classroom of students that is the political, racial, geographical, and socio-economic opposite of another classroom that they are paired with.
With MismatchTM you will be able to:
- Browse a list of curated mismatches based on your classroom profile
- Connect with the classroom teacher to easily schedule a conversation between students
- Hold real-time, structured video conversations using a dialogue guide from our library
The platform is entirely browser-based and protects students’ privacy by collecting registration details only at a classroom level, not from individual students.
Mismatch™ is also available for a limited number of nonprofits and partners and will be more broadly available in 2024 for a wide variety of organizations, media companies, corporations, and events.

We are on a mission to help the next generation of students develop dialogue skills to participate thoughtfully in our 21st-century democracy.
