Start a conversation around social justice topics
Engage your adults in a conversation around social justice topics, like refugees and sexuality, to explore what these topics mean to individuals and your community.
Why choose Dialogues On?
-
-
Customize discussions to your group’s needs
Tweak the experience to work for your group’s dynamics—take more time with topics that require more discussion, based on group feedback and interaction.
-
Build communication skills
Help leaders and participants build communication skills throughout the seven-week course, giving them skills to continue the conversation with others outside of small group.
-
Create a small group they’ll love
Build a small group for your community that focuses on hot topics in today’s society and gives them an opportunity to discuss the topics in further depth.
How it works
Dialogues On resources and methodology are built to help leaders create an engaging experience people want to be a part of, and include a leader guide, participant book, and DVD. Each Dialogues On session follows a four-part series:
- Participants will read a weekly topic
- Gather in a small group to discuss key learnings
- Watch a video featuring a leading voice
- Share ideas with the group
