Workshop Rundown
Our workshops are broken out into two 2-hour sessions:
Prior to coming together participants will be provided a link to view List(e)n, as well as a Listening Assignment to complete in preparation for the sessions.
Part 1 (2 hours)
The part 1 session is devoted to empathic listening, using the film as a tool for unpacking what good listening looks like, and how difficult it is to listen when we disagree. Participants walk away with a framework to apply in their lives, to become better listeners, as well as strategies for entering difficult conversations. This session culminates with a powerful letter writing exercise, and a viewing of our TEDX talk “Listening Courageously Can Bridge What Divides Us”.
Assignment (over break)
-Letter writing to someone with whom you’ve been avoiding a difficult conversation.
Part 2 (120 mins)
The part 2 session applies the listening tools from part 1 and specifically has participants internalize the importance of listening to see past stereotypes. We work to reframe our perceptions about people who might look different from us, take participants back to their first experiences with bias and have them connect with what it feels like to be treated as more than / less than others.
Things to consider:
-Our workshops are broken out into two 2-hour sessions:
– Our workshops are customizable, to meet your team’s needs.
– A private link with the film will be provided up to a week in advance.
– There will be an option to come together the night prior to our session to watch the film, as a group.
Thank you for supporting our movement!
