THE OPPORTUNITY
In our empathic dialogue sessions you experienced how deep connections we facilitate between people and how robust empathy can grow by practicing the dialogue skills of deep listening and intentional sharing. In the process of building trust we uplift each other, sense our shared humanity and strengthen our personal resilience.
Many individuals, groups and organisations are looking and longing for practical pathways to build uplifting communities that are interwoven in small groups. We are looking for caring and courageous people who want to step into collective actions and support building communities. In short: we are looking for individuals who want to be trained as facilitators for Crossing Borders Education (CBE) programs.
THE INVITATION
Join with other participants the CBE community for two sessions (2 hours each) and get to know the backbone of our innovative, media-enhanced, uniquely interactive Peer Dialogue method. We will look into:
- Why small group dialogue is so important in our aching world today.
- What values the CBE method is based on and how it is designed.
- Practical information on how to facilitate CBE workshops.
- How our virtual platform Human Bridges will support you.
- In what ways a facilitator can support a group in our programs.
The training will follow a similar interactive design that you experienced in other CBE programs. You will connect with around 8-12 participants, experience dialogues in small groups (4 each), and continue practicing with us the life skills that enable experiencing the depth, vulnerability, and courage necessary to nurture empathic dialogue across differences.
