The University of Michigan's Program on Intergroup Relations is hosting its annual National Intergroup Dialogue Institute from June 20-23, 2016 at the Sheraton Ann Arbor, 3200 Boardwalk Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48108. The Institute is designed for faculty and staff who are interested in expanding and assessing intergroup dialogue programs already in place or are interested in starting one at their institutions.
The goals of the Institute are to:

  • Participate in engaging activities commonly used in intergroup dialogue settings

While the Institute will engage in interactive activities, the purpose of this Institute is to demonstrate the curriculum and structure of intergroup dialogue. Facilitator and “train the trainer” workshops are not included as part of this Institute.
