Civil Conversations

In our society, we navigate challenging conversations and encounter conflict regularly. How do we do so civilly? This program is offered in corporate, educational, and government settings in such industries as law, healthcare, professional organizations, and religious institutions. It can be customized for both adults and youth.

What You'll Learn:

In this training, participants engage in a structured conversational environment with clear guidelines designed to help navigate potential pitfalls and ensure a positive experience when discussing sometimes divisive topics. The session includes time to develop strategies, share knowledge, and engage in purposeful conversations.

Core Elements of Workshop

Explore the key elements of a “civil conversation” through group-building exercises and shared listening experiences using artistic media. Engage in facilitated discussions on the themes, questions, issues, and ideas that emerge.

Participants in this workshop engage in deep and respectful conversations, even on divisive topics. These discussions provide a valuable opportunity to come together for meaningful exchanges that enhance our understanding of one another, especially in times and environments that might otherwise drive us apart.
