Do you, your congregation, union or organization avoid talking about immigration, fearing that the discussion will turn into an argument?
Each participant in this seminar will receive a Fairfield University toolkit - based on focus groups they conducted on Long Island - that has over a dozen exercises for conversations on immigration using shared values and experiences to find common ground.
The toolkit and seminar are divided into these stages:
➢ Getting Prepared
➢ Breaking the Ice
➢ Sharing Histories
➢ Charting Identities
➢ Learning the Power of Language
➢ Building Community for the Common Good
