Webinars & Workshops
A variety of resources dedicated to fostering greater inclusion and acceptance.
Compassion arises from a deep experience of shared humanity and solidarity. It is a powerful force when cultivated, harnessed, and channeled in service of social justice.
The objective of Compassionate Listening Circles is to share your valuable voice and support others as they find theirs in this safe space.
Groups will be formed, cohort style, to listen to your thoughts on key questions related to race and diversity. This is an opportunity to create meaningful dialogues that will deepen relationships with colleagues.
For more information on upcoming Compassionate Listening Circles, please contact Joan McClendon at jmcclen1@nd.edu.
