It's a huge question. For my two cents, I'd say that for some people it would work to put what you and they are doing in an explicitely political context. Tell them (appropriately)that you know that the world we live in is a fake meritocracy swimming in priviledge and oppresion - and ask them what you can do to help them overcome those obstacles to challenge the long running tradition of elite power silencing everyone else. In other words, participation not for the purpose of struggle, but as an act of struggle in and of itself. I imagine you can pick out after a little conversation (if possible) who this approach might work with. Just an idea, maybe it's crazy or niave. Good luck.
