Is there a topic that you believe demands discussion but that you fear will prove too polarizing for civil conversation? Do you avoid organizing such a discussion because you are unsure of how to ensure meaningful engagement across difference? Are you interested in honing your skills of engaging in conversation with people who think differently from you? If so, please join us for this workshop which will focus on the following subjects:

• basic theories of, and approaches to, conflict resolution-based dialogue;
• facilitating difficult conversations in a structured-dialogue setting;
• creating and hosting dialogues (focusing on the Encounters dialogue model)
• roll-playing practice your new dialogic skills
