Dialogue Lab Documentary Screening and Mini-Training Workshop

Sep 29 @ 9 – 11:00 a.m.

Knobloch Campus Center – Sprinkle Room

Register for this event. The last event in our series with invited speaker Christy Vines will be a screening of the Ideos Institute’s 2022 documentary, Dialogue Lab: America, a story of 12 strangers who came together in an audacious social experiment on political polarization. The hour-long film chronicles the group’s journey as each individual shares their story, discovers common ground, and forges a path to mutual understanding.  The screening will be followed by a mini Dialogue Lab workshop where you can experience Ideos’ training in the art and practice of dialogue-based relational, social, and systems change. At the end of the 60-minute training, you will walk away with new skills and tools that can help you:

• challenge your unconscious biases and misplaced judgments
• break down barriers that can lead to misunderstanding and isolated thinking
• create shared meaning and mutual understanding with those you disagree with
• lay the groundwork for authentic relationships and meaningful action.
