Learning to communicate across differences is an essential peace-building skill. Come learn with an accomplished mediator to find out how to speak and listen across difficult differences. This skills-based set of workshops will include introspection, practice, and feedback as we build our skills. Each of the 2-hour workshops builds on the skills developed earlier.
