Excerpted from The Peace Center’s 2020 workshop Talking Across a Divide, which was offered as part of Pennsylvania Inauguration Committee’s 2021 MLK Day of Service, Building Bridges will explore the basics of and differences between communication and dialogue. They are not always the same!
From kindergarten through elementary school, most students learn how to build friendships in the classroom by using their words, developing shared interests, and finding common ground. Then middle and high school happen. We learn and practice the art of debate. Our communication often devolves into a winner-loser approach. We entrench. We lose opportunities to build bridges. We can unlearn this!
This 1.5-hour workshop will help participants develop styles and strategies for more effective communication. Participants will:
– Review Communication Modes
– Learn (reflect) personal style
– Practice Active Listening
– Develop Strategies to “reclaim” positive interactions
Lead by Danny L. Thomas, Executive Director of the Peace Center
Registration is limited to 20 people.
