Dialogue Initiative
Kicking off at our Network meeting on October 19, the Dialogue Initiative will convene a statewide Community of Practice (CoP) for practitioners engaged in fostering the skills of dialogue among students, faculty, staff and community members. In its first year, the CoP will focus on creating a space to share what works well and what is challenging in teaching and practicing the skills of dialogue. In its second year, the CoP will pivot to sharing replicable models and toolkits for dialogue across the state, region and nation.
Interested in joining the Dialogue Initiative CoP? Contact Rachel Vaughn.
