"Deepening Dialogue: Ways to Address Difficult Subjects in Your Community"
Dialogue enables people to address difficult issues in a safe space. This workshop will focus on strategies you can use to create dialogue in your communities in an organized and facilitated manner. Participants will be involved in activities that introduce different ways you can talk about issues such as sexuality, violence, and safety.
Report
Participating in this workshop was a different experience compared to any other workshop I’ve ever facilitated. The students were like no other group I have come across in the two years that I have been with the programs of which I am associated.. This elicited participation from all that was very knowledgeable, responsive, dedicated and ambitious. The fishbowl activity was probably the highlight of my day with the students because I realized how little I expected them to know. However, they managed to prove me wrong and I realized that I could learn so much from them. They were mature and articulate when it came to expressing their views on sexuality, race, violence and issues within their community. I’ve become so used to walking into a workshop and showing students that they can become more than what they already are. However, I walked away from this experience wiser and open-minded. “
