Learning to Listen, Listening to Learn

Description

Please join the Office of Diversity and Inclusion and Religious and Spiritual Life for an interactive workshop titled "Learning to Listen, Listening to Learn." This is an opportunity for members of the Johns Hopkins community to develop skills in appreciative inquiry while also providing a space to share meaningful stories.

Attendees will use this moment in time to enhance our collective skills in listening across difference, perspective-taking, and community development. Appreciative conversations are those in which individuals bring value to their discussion, rather than seeking to depreciate, attack, or devalue others. Inquiry-based conversations are those in which listeners can respond with curiosity, asking sensitive questions that allow for deeper understanding, identify hidden possibilities, and initiate change. As such, appreciative inquiry provides a process for productive and meaningful dialogue.

Dinner will be provided. Register by April 8.
