Building Bridges Dialogue on Race and other important issues of our time
Location: Cathedral Center of St. Paul, 840 Echo Park Ave., Los Angeles, CA

Participants will:
- Experience a full dialogue process on race relations

- Learn how to invite people from their church and neighborhood to come to an initial dialogue to achieve mutual understanding through deep listening
- Learn how to access the Building Bridges dialogue curriculum to continue their development as dialogue facilitators by participating in future KI webinars
