The National Intergroup Dialogue Institute
June 19th - 22nd, 2013
The Program on Intergroup Relations hosts a National Intergroup Dialogue Institute annually for faculty and staff who wish to learn our philosophy and techniques for the purpose of creating dialogue programs on their own campuses.
The next National Institute will be held June 19th - 22nd, 2013 in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Join us in learning about intergroup dialogue and how you might use it at your institution!
- Explore the overall dialogue framework and The Michigan Model
- Strategize the development and support of academic and co-curricular programs
- Participate in engaging activities commonly used in intergroup dialogue settings
While we will engage in interactive activities, the purpose of this Institute is to demonstrate the curriculum and structure of intergroup dialogue.
The Institute provides support and skiils for applying the pedagogy on home campuses. (Time does not permit formal facilitator training, although there is discussion of next steps in this regard.)
