During this two day workshop*, participants will explore and practice facilitation skills and methodologies needed to engage meaningful, effective, 1:1, and small intergroup conversations related to oppression and privilege from a place of love and compassion. We will cultivate a critical and compassionate understanding of the difference between “safe” and “comfortable” conversations and learn how to push through discomfort to engage these important learning opportunities. We will increase our skill in compassionately discussing the construction and impacts of oppression to youth, families, and colleagues who are at varying levels of experience, and who may not share our beliefs and values. And we will deepen our ability to effectively engage these conversations to connect across difference and begin deconstructing the culture of oppression.
*Participants must attend both days. New attendees will not be accepted on day two!!
