Join the community in talking about racism & immigration.
Diversity In Dialogue Group
WHAT ARE DIVERSITY IN DIALOGUE (DID) CIRCLES?
Developed by Scarritt-Bennett Center, the Dialogue Circles are made up of 8-12 diverse individuals. Led by trained facilitators, they provide a forum for people to share their feelings, opinions and thoughts in a non-defensive, non-critical environment. The objective is to help participants understand their own and other's views on racism, diversity and immigration to create long-term change.
FROM OUR PARTICIPANTS:
"This experience has been one of enlightenment and enjoyment. It forces you to be introspective and to take action. Beginning the conversation is the first step, and Diversity in Dialogue is a great way to get started."
"Invaluable opportunity to learn, practice and model tolerance and diversity. I loved this experience."
"DID helped me to personally identify strengths and weaknesses in how I view my co-workers, neighbors and others. I learned that I may not have been as forward thinking as I perceived I was. This was a great personal journey for me."
"The DID sessions offer a great opportunity for personal reflection and growth."
