"From Debate to Dialogue: Conversation Strategies to Build Connection Across Difference” is a training series presented by the Faculty Affair’s Community Building and Conflict Resolution (CBCR) unit and The Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning. The training is also a qualifying event for the "Foundations of Effective Learning Environments", offered through our campus partners at The Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning.
From Debate to Dialogue is a 2-day training opportunity where participants will learn to apply essential skills necessary to building affirming dialogue in the workplace and the classroom. This training will cover skills to help participants engage in difficult conversations effectively and compassionately while navigating and/or deescalating interpersonal conflicts that arise with our colleagues and/or students.
