Facilitation in Community Settings

3 credits · Undergraduate credit

The focus of this course is developing strategies for facilitating race dialogues beyond the university community. In co-facilitation pairs and with a pre-designed 10-week curriculum you will facilitate high school students through race dialogues. The first few weeks of the course will be entirely in the college classroom, preparing to enter the high school setting, practicing facilitation skills, and building confidence with the curriculum. Then students will spend 10 weeks meeting both as a practicum class with the instructors and meeting in a local (walking distance) high school facilitating the students in dialogue.
