Brave and Gracious Conversations
This skills workshop helps participants learn how to approach one-on-one conversations around difficult topics so that a more productive conversation might be possible. Our goal is not so much changing people’s minds, but creating a space where we can share what matters to us while honoring our deeply held truths, and the deeply held truths of our conversation partner.
Building Bridges Now
The Building Bridges Now dialogue sessions are intended to be a cohesive conversation program inviting participants to commit to recurring sessions covering topics such as Race and Children, Race and Privilege, Black Lives Matter, Race and Immigration, Stop and Frisk, Stand Your Ground, etc.
Building Bridges Now is a carefully designed and ever-expanding resource that empowers Kaleidoscope-trained moderators to create courageous environments and encourage honest sharing of individuals’ diverse opinions, perspectives and experiences. The emphasis on listening to understand each person’s contribution to the topic being addressed can feel counter cultural in an environment that values a debate.
