"Invitation to Talk"

A pin from "Meet-up with a Stranger" event . . based on the concept of having a meaningful conversation with a stranger . . and talk about whatever comes to mind.  . . to encourage social interaction. The pin symbolizes your openness to a conversation when you wear it.

Dmytro says it's much like the direct eye contact and an open smile invites a stranger to have a quick chat back in his homeland of Ukraine.
