The Power of Dialogue: Constructive Conversations on Divisive Issues (three days)

The Power of Dialogue (POD) is a highly interactive workshop for practitioners, leaders, and others interested in transforming conflicted conversations. Participants will build upon and expand their facilitation skills to create conversations that foster mutual understanding between groups and individuals divided by deep differences.

Learn:

• The dynamics of polarization and conflict, including the effects of strong emotion on our capacity for communication
• The difference between the intent and impact of speaking
• Ways of speaking, listening, and asking questions that open up conversation and relationships
• Core components of Reflective Structured Dialogue

Develop:

• A “dialogic” mindset: the ability to create a space for multiple complex or conflicting views
• Questions for personal reflection, opening dialogue and shaping conversation

Experience:

• The process of dialogue—preparing participants, planning, facilitating, and participating—via an extended dialogue simulation
• The power of connecting with practitioners from different fields who are committed to transforming conflicted conversations
