In these workshops, participants will be paired with a colleague and given the space to practice having a facilitated dialogue designed to promote civil discourse and encourage the sharing and understanding of diverse perspectives. Participants will have the chance to practice the skills of active listening, curious questioning, and engaging in constructive dialogue across differences, so that they can be confident in facilitating these difficult conversations in class with students.
Bring your own food and enjoy conversing with colleagues over the lunch hour.
Partnered with Madison Center for Civic Engagement
