Build your capacity and ground yourself into the work of bridging differences through research-based intrapersonal, interpersonal and intergroup skills and strategies critical to constructive dialogue and understanding across group lines.

This course will explore and practice skills such as: perspective-taking and giving; self-distancing; and active listening and compassionate speaking – all of which are critical to better conversations and connections. The risks and skills of ‘bridging’ will be discussed.
