Important note: A second workshop session will be held on Tuesday, November 19
As divisiveness continues to mark so many exchanges online and in person, this 90-minute workshop is designed to demonstrate how to develop a deeper understanding of constructive dialogue. Participants will be introduced to practical tools and strategies for enhancing their communication skills and effectively engaging in dialogue on sensitive topics.
Led by Vince Greer and Marissiko Wheaton-Greer of Greer Consulting, the workshops will explore common challenges and barriers specific to our current political landscape. The workshop will also feature:
• Discussion of important terminology
• Methods of listening and reflection
• Discussion-based vignettes
• An open Q & A session
• Additional resources and support
Come and learn how to live Pitzer values in challenging times. We hope to see you there!
