Courageous Conversations
Courageous Conversations develop students’ empathy for one another and understanding of how inequities are created, maintained, and challenged.
According to Concentus, students’ capacity to inquire and problem-solve together in these ways will determine the quality of their citizenship and the strength and resilience of our democracy. Fostering citizenship involves disrupting habitual ways of engaging with ideas and others.
