Facing Racism in a Diverse Nation is a dialogue based program that helps participants explore the impacts of racial inequities and the opportunities to help create more inclusive change and approaches forward. This program is based on a dialogue to action process, and through participation, participants will learn to facilitate this dialogue program in community settings to help advance understanding and action to address racial disparities and inequities. It is highly recommended that participants in this train the trainer program, attend the Facing Racism in a Diverse Nation, six-week dialogue program before attending this workshop.

Each gathering participants will be given an overview of each session, participate or facilitate in a dialogue session and given an opportunity to reflect on application of learnings or re-learnings to their personal and professional lives. In addition, participants will have the opportunities to ask questions about the content and process of the dialogues and explore opportunities to assist in co-facilitating or supporting these dialogues in local community settings. This program is part of the national Extension Coming Together for Racial Understanding Program.
