The workshops we offer are:
- NCBI’s Welcoming Diversity Workshop*—a series of incremental, experiential activities that help participants think about how they have been taught to think and act as members of their racial, gender, and other identity groups and provides skills for bridging differences. Available as a 4 hours or 8 hours workshop.
- NCBI’s Controversial Issues Process Workshop**— Demonstrates a method for assisting diverse groups to work together even in tough, emotionally-charged conflicts. Available as a 4 hours workshop.
*Consists of a series of incremental, experiential activities that help participants:
celebrate their similarities and differences
recognize the mis-information that they have learned about various groups
identify and heal from internalized oppression – the discrimination members of an oppressed group target at themselves and each other
claim pride in group identity
understand the personal impact of discrimination through the telling of stories
learn hands-on tools for dealing effectively with bigoted comments and behavior
** Trains leaders to deal constructively with tough conflicts, enabling them to move disputing parties toward future cooperation. Participants learn to listen to concerns underneath controversial issues and reframe the conversation in a way that build bridges.
