Designed to provide the foundational skills and knowledge necessary to facilitate multicultural group interactions, The Program on Intergroup Relations’ facilitator training course (ALA 320) develops basic group facilitation skills through theoretical and experiential learning on topics such as group dynamics, conflict intervention, intergroup communication, and community building.

Intergroup dialogue facilitators are trained undergraduate students who lead a group of peers through a semester of intergroup dialogue. Facilitators are trained in dialogic communication, group building, conflict surfacing and de-escalation, and social justice education. They work in pairs to facilitate dialogue, not simply as teachers, but also as learners with dialogue participants.
The semester following completion of the course, students enroll in Psych 311/Soc 321/ALA 321: Practicum in Intergroup Dialogue Facilitation, in which they serve as peer facilitators for IGR’s Intergroup Dialogue Course Sociology 122/Psychology 122/ALA 122. Recent trainees have facilitated intergroup dialogues with topics such as Race and Ethnicity, Gender, Socio-economic Class, International and U.S., Religion, Sexual Orientation, Arab/Jewish, Ableism, and White Racial Identity.
