For the past 8 years, the Coming Together for Racial Understanding (CTRU) program series has been held in communities across the U.S. Over this time, the series, mainly facilitated by Extension professionals, has provided facilitated dialogue around complex issues to foster larger community efforts to address these important issues. As the Community Development Society partners on the CTRU effort and the curriculum and program efforts are offered though CDS, this workshop provides an opportunity to experience a sample of the program and invite feedback from CDS members.
Participants of this workshop will:
- Experience dialogue as a tool to address complex community issues by participating in a portion of the Coming Together for Racial Understanding curriculum (program in total is 6-8 2-hour sessions).
- Be able to provide initial feedback on the Coming Together for Racial Understanding curriculum.
- Provide guidance and affirmation to the CTRU and CDS transition team.
