HONR338J- Teaching & Learning about Cultural Diversity through Intergroup Dialogue; Dialogue Facilitation Practicum

Are you committed to social justice? Want to develop the skills to facilitate meaningful conversations about power, identity, and inequality? Engage in a 3-credit skills-based course to learn the principles and ideals of social justice, in theory and practice. This course has two goals: 1) It aims to create a space for students to reflect on their own identities and how structural inequalities affect their lives and relationships. 2) It also serves as a training opportunity for students to develop and hone their facilitation skills so they have the skills and tools to interrupt injustice and encourage awareness within and beyond their communities. Participants in the course will have the opportunity to put their skills to practice by developing and delivering a justice-oriented workshop to the campus community.

This course is a partnership among Honors College, College Park Scholars, and The Words of Engagement Program.
