PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT
Diversity Dialogue Day
Diversity Dialogue Day is a one-day high school forum conducted by the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities. The program curriculum takes participants through a process of awareness-to-action. They learn to recognize prejudice and intolerance, and to respect others. Trained facilitators guide the students through small group learning activities that explore personal experiences with discrimination and develop conflict resolution skills. At the conclusion of the Diversity Dialogue Day, participants develop strategies for increasing awareness and promoting inclusion within their schools.
Spring 2012 registration materials are being mailed to all Lynchburg and Tidewater area public and independent high schools in early January for the following forums:
- Lynchburg - March 5, 2012 (Lynchburg College)
- Tidewater - March 6, 2012 (Old Dominion University)
Our appreciation to Dominion Resources for sponsoring the 2011-2012 Diversity Dialogue Day forums! Contact Trey Hartt with questions.
