Join us for this half-day interactive workshop for an introduction to Resetting the Table’s celebrated approach to building a culture of productive dialogue on charged issues, even in the face of strong differences. You'll exchange your perspectives and experiences with your peers, while developing the tools for productive dialogue, learning two core skills for difficult conversations across diverse backgrounds and viewpoints, and leave with increased capacity and confidence to discuss charged issues. The methodology is practice-based and experiential. Together, we'll walk through road-tested exercises you can replicate at your philanthropic institution. This workshop is facilitated by Council on Foundations staff members who have been trained in Resetting the Table’s methodology.
