February 8 | Building coalitions across great divides

We live in a time of great divides where the tensions and dynamics within today’s culture require us to build more bridges and fewer walls. This experiential, interactive workshop will allow participants to engage in roleplay exercises, breakout sessions, and critical conversations through which they develop tools to enable productive dialogue around difficult topics.  Participants will also gain an understanding of how to apply these learnings as members of the WSU community as we work together towards mutuality and shared interests.

Workshop Learning Objectives:

  • Gain an understanding of how coalitions are built
  • Develop tools for building coalitions
  • Create capacity to work through divisiveness by identifying identify mutual self-interests

Monday, February 8, 1-3:30 p.m.
