What We Offer

Develop skills and strategies for effectively engaging with others.

The Community Dialogue Project (CDP) initiatives advance the development of skills and strategies for engaging with issues that affect the Brown community and equip community members to engage productively in difficult conversations and relationship-building around challenging topics. 

Are you a Brown student, staff member, or faculty member who would like to engage CDP, but you’re not sure where to start? Fill out our Intake Form, and a Coordinator will be in touch to discuss how we can support you. 

Students, faculty, and staff can partner with the CDP through numerous pathways, including participating in training modules; train-the-trainer models; ongoing in-service training; ongoing coaching for those advising student employees and leaders; upon-request workshops and direct services; and workshops targeting professional development.

  5. Increase confidence to continue dialogue in other environments
