Participants in this class will learn how to engage in and facilitate dialogue, using skills, knowledge, and values drawn from existing dialogue models. Dialogue is a process of communication that emphasizes listening and understanding rather than debating and influencing. Dialogue has been used successfully in facilitating peaceful resolution of conflict within couples, families, and groups, as well as between cultures, communities, and nations. In-class experiential learning will be emphasized, so that all students will participate in weekly dialogue as they practice the skills taught and modeled by the instructor.
