Leading Conversations that Build Community

The Alaska Humanities Forum is hosting a two-day intensive workshop titled "Leading Conversations that Build Community." The Alaska Humanities Forum trains discussion facilitators to lead conversations about vital issues and ideas across differences, beliefs, and backgrounds. These discussions help build strong relationships within organizations and among communities.

Over two days, you will participate in reflective discussions in large and small groups and learn techniques to lead them. All participants have the opportunity to plan and facilitate a conversation and receive feedback from trainers and other participants.
During the workshop, participants will learn to:

• Understand both the value and limitations of conversations for building community;
• Develop a concrete set of tools for planning and facilitating meaningful conversations;
• Co-design and facilitate a conversation;
• Experience a variety of conversation designs and facilitation styles;
• Practice both giving and receiving feedback in order to learn and grow as a facilitator.
