Since the turn of the century, public discourse in the U.S. has become increasingly polarized. Issues such as the presidential elections, the Iraq war, and the role of religion in government seem impossible to discuss, let alone resolve. Recent writings in the conflict resolution field have focused on the role of dialogue in promoting communication in even the most intractable conflicts. This workshop provides facilitators, mediators and community leaders with an overview of processes to promote meaningful dialogue for community and organizational issues. Participants will participate in and analyze three different dialogue techniques. In addition, they will practice the skills of framing questions and dialogue design.
