Location: 125 E Street NW McCourt School of Public Policy Map

How have your life experiences informed your approach to conflict? What have you learned that other practitioners should know? How can we leverage our skills for growth through today's most pressing conflict?

This event brought together practitioners, graduate students from institutions across Washington DC, and experts to explore transformative dialogue models that help bridge divides. Participants heard from leaders in polarization research and engaged in interactive breakout sessions that provided immediately applicable tools for depolarizing conversations.

Registered participants received confirmation and room information via email. Refreshments and lunch were provided.

This forum was co-sponsored by the Georgetown University Doyle Engaging Difference Program, Georgetown University Graduate Student Government (GradGov), International Center for Religion and Diplomacy (ICRD), and DC Peace Team.
