Learn more about this workshop:
Hosted by Unify America in partnership with the Sustained Dialogue Institute and Campus Compact, the Colorado Educators Workshop is a one-day event designed to bring together faculty and staff from across Colorado to foster collaboration and growth in experiential learning, with a special emphasis on civil dialogue programming.
Participants will participate in hands-on, interactive sessions led by faculty and staff at Colorado institutions, and local, state, and national experts.
Individuals with varying levels of experience in active and experiential learning and civic engagement are welcome to attend. Each campus approaches dialogue differently, and we aim to explore these perspectives and experiences in discussions.
This workshop is a step towards strengthening cross-campus and institutional collaboration in dialogue and civic programs across Colorado, maximizing our collective impact and fostering meaningful conversations.
Who should attend?
Faculty and staff from across Colorado looking to foster collaboration and growth in experiential learning, with a special emphasis on civil dialogue programming, are encouraged to attend this day-long workshop.
