Posted: Thursday, January 16, 2020Webinar: Building Democratic Skills through Deliberative Dialogue - January 30
Please join the Civic and Community Engagement Office for the webinar "Building Democratic Skills through Deliberative Dialogue" on Thursday, January 30, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m in South Wing 137.
In the face of ever-increasing polarization and divisiveness, there is a great need and desire for an effective, accessible, and inclusive tool for diverse people to engage across differences in pursuit of common ground for action on major social issues.
A deliberative dialogue forum brings people together in a small gathering to deliberate challenging public issues. The process is guided by a neutral moderator and a discussion guide that presents multiple approaches to addressing the problem. Deliberative dialogue provides an effective framework for mutual understanding and a common purpose that allows people to discuss difficult issues, weigh options, and ultimately take action.
Reservations can be made by e-mail at cce@buffalostate.edu.
