Deliberative Dialogue Trainings |
|
During the Civic Engagement Institute in February, NC Campus Compact was pleased to host a Deliberative Dialogue facilitated by the National Issues Forum. Several participants expressed interest in learning how to facilitate their own dialogue. As a result, we are hosting two moderator trainings.
We invite individuals from NC Campus Compact member institutions to participate in either training. Both moderator sessions are free to participants.

A Deliberative Dialogue is a technique used by the National Issues Forum Institute which provides a way for community members of diverse views and experiences to seek a shared understanding of a problem and to search for common ground for action. Dialogues are led by trained faculty, staff, and student moderators, and use an issue discussion guide that frames the issue by presenting the overall problem followed by three or four broad approaches to the problem. Dialogue participants work through the issue by considering each approach; examining what appeals to them or concerns them; and also what costs, consequences, and trade offs may be incurred in following that approach.

Over the past 20 years there has been a dramatic increase in the number of campuses hosting alternative break trips. We
