The Conversation is the official Crossing Party Lines podcast. The podcast brings unlikely people together to have open, honest conversations about the issues of the day with the goal of increasing tolerance, building communities, and increasing civic engagement. Listen and subscribe in Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast app to hear real people having real conversations.
Learn to moderate conversations that cross differences through our 16-lesson online training. This class is a mixture of self-paced lessons, virtual class discussions, one-on-one meetings with the instructor, and virtual practice sessions. Click here for Syllabus.
You will learn how to create a safe and welcoming environment, how to ask open-ended and probing questions, how to manage emotions and conflicts, how to listen actively and empathically, and how to foster mutual learning and collaboration.
Our goal in offering this professionally designed training for free is to meet our ever-increasing demand for CPL services. Because of this, we ask that every student moderate a minimum of 3 meetups upon completion of this course.
