The Encounters Dialogue Facilitation Training
If we all looked the same, acted the same, did the same things...the world might not be as interesting of a place.
Yet, why do our differences seem so often to be more important than our similarities?
Why is it so difficult to talk about our differences and to think past them?
In our current historical moment of great polarization, why is it important for leaders to model and promote dialogue?
Want to learn more about the theory and practice of being a good dialogue facilitator?
Join us as we explore these questions and, in so doing, learn something about the power of dialogue to build connections across difference.
Through the Democracy and Dialogues Initiative, UConn is working to increase democratic and civic capacity by supporting community dialogues on critical issues, providing moderator and facilitation training for dialogues and deliberations, and partnering with campus colleagues and local institutions to increase meaningful participation by all community members.
