Brave Space: Skills for Dialoguing Across Difference

Have you ever felt afraid to ask a question or share your thinking in a group when having a conversation related to a new or difficult topic? Participants will be introduced to skills and dispositions that support dialoguing across differences. They will understand the difference between debate (seeking a “right” answer) and dialogue (seeking understanding). They will identify the “why” for engaging in dialogue (finding shared values). They will practice active listening, perspective taking, and identifying “learning edges.”
