The experience will include a two-day intensive training and a subsequent semester-long practicum. Those who wish to continue on to the practicum will be given priority registration for the training. The two-day training will provide community members with opportunities to learn and practice dialogue facilitation skills. The practicum provides an opportunity for participants to put these skills into practice by facilitating an OVPIIE dialogue program this fall: Dialogue for Change for graduate students or staff to facilitate, Dialogue in the Workplace for staff and faculty to facilitate, and Tufts Table for staff, faculty, and/or students to facilitate. Participants will receive additional training and support from OVPIIE throughout the fall semester as they lead dialogues with their peers. This training and practicum is available to all staff, faculty, and graduate students. The training will be held in-person on the Medford/Somerville campus. Please use this form to register for both the training and practicum. The application deadline is Friday, August 21, 2026.
