INTERGROUP DIALOGUE AND INTERCULTURAL FACILITATION TRAINING INSTITUTE

SWCHRS is planning an intergroup dialogue and facilitation training institute. Participants will take part in an intensive workshop series on the research-based practice of intergroup dialogue facilitation. These inclusive skills are applicable in both the traditional intergroup dialogue setting, as well as an organizational setting where discussion and dialogue are part of the everyday work. These workshops will benefit organizations and units interested in promising practices that contribute to diversity and inclusion in retention, engagement, recruitment, innovation, and responsiveness. These activities are complex in a diverse society, where issues of race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexual orientation, and immigrant status are addressed every day.
