The National Intergroup Dialogue Institute
June 20th - 23rd, 2012
The Program on Intergroup Relations hosts a National Intergroup Dialogue Institute annually for faculty and staff who wish to learn our philosophy and techniques for the purpose of creating dialogue programs on their own campuses.
The next National Institute will be held June 20th - 23rd, 2012 in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Join us in learning about intergroup dialogue and how you might use it at your institution!
- Explore the overall dialogue framework and The Michigan Model
- Strategize the development and support of academic and co-curricular programs
- Participate in engaging activities commonly used in intergroup dialogue settings
While we will engage in interactive activities, the purpose of this Institute is to demonstrate the curriculum and structure of intergroup dialogue.
Facilitator and "train the trainer" workshops are not offered as part of this Institute.
The curriculum for the June 2012 Institute has not yet been finalized. But you can download a sample agenda from last year’s institute here. Please keep in mind that activities are subject to change for the June 2012 Institute.
