BRWN-010285 - Effective Engagement Across Difference: Bringing Communication Skills Together

Preferred registration deadline: January 15th This workshop will be conducted in a virtual Zoom meeting online format. 3 CEUs/CPH units Many of us were raised to avoid conversations and interactions that focus on our differences and/or have a higher potential for uncovering conflict and disagreement. As a result, we have developed limited skill in communicating across our many differences, especially differences of identity, experience and thought. This basic lack of skill has contributed to a deterioration in our basic civility and engagement across our differences.   This workshop will explore the societal need for us to become more effective in our communication and as well as to build skills to hold ourselves and others accountable for our actions. Dialogue is intended to lead to healing and there is no healing without accountability.   General Admission: $60**   Class size is limited to 28. **Discounts on workshop admission are offered to the Brown School’s students, alumni, and field instructors. We also offer a discount to full-time graduate students in other programs and to our Washington University faculty/staff colleagues. No other discounts are available.
