A campus team of 30 students, staff, faculty members and administrators is available to lead Prejudice Reduction Workshops and to guide the Controversial Issue Process at no charge to campus groups. Both training programs are offered through the National Coalition Building Institute, a nonprofit Washington, D.C.-based leadership training organization founded in 1984. Objectives of the Prejudice Reduction Workshop include identifying stereotypes, learning techniques for confronting prejudicial jokes and slurs, and healing from discrimination and oppression. The Controversial Issue Process is a form of conflict resolution that teaches skills such as listening to and repeating concerns, asking questions designed to elicit heartfelt responses, and reframing issues in a way that builds bridges.
Workshops can be as brief as one hour or as long as one day.
