Bridge-Building 101: October Series

How can we keep building a deeply inclusive community during these times of unrest and uncertainty? How do we more genuinely connect with neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family who may see the world differently?

Join the Midland County Inclusion Alliance for a free, four-week workshop series that will help us to build bridges and strengthen relationships in ways we might not have thought possible. Activities will include hearing from community members “human library-style”, learning and practicing techniques for responding to high-tension situations, practicing asking curious questions to open dialogue, and finding avenues for action in our community.

All sessions will be held at Northwood University, 7:00– 8:30pm on each Tuesday of October, in partnership with Northwood’s student DIG (Diversity & Inclusion Group).
