Oregon Humanities trains facilitators to lead conversations about vital issues and ideas across differences, beliefs, and backgrounds. These discussions help build strong relationships within organizations and among communities.

This two-day training will help you strengthen your skills in planning and facilitating conversations on issues you care about within your organization or in the broader community. You will participate in reflective discussions and learn techniques to lead them. All participants will have the opportunity to plan and cofacilitate a conversation and receive feedback.

This training takes place Thursday, January 9, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Friday, January 10, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Oregon Humanities office in downtown Portland. 

This training is free and limited to City of Portland staff, partners, and the Portland community. It is funded by the Office of Community and Civic Life’s Constructing Civic Dialogues program. The content of this training does not differ from our paid trainings. Click here to learn more and register.
