Conflict/polarization dialogue & deliberation WorkshopS 
 

Why Dialogue or Deliberation Workshops?

​

Is your campus or community struggling with divisions too deep to ignore?

 

When polarization makes empathetic conversations impossible, structured dialogue and democratic deliberation can rebuild understanding, respect, and collaboration.

​

These workshops turn proven theories of intergroup and intragroup communication and protest into real, actionable experiences that restore connection and guide constructive and just decision-making.

​

Our Approach:

​

Grounded in Dr. Yael Warshel’s pioneering “PeaceComm” model, our signature method draws from evidence-based peace communication research—tested in some of the world’s most polarized contexts, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This model redefines how communities assess and engage across divides, offering what others can’t: interventions that actually work rather than those that merely hope to.

​

Workshop Format:

​

Four full days of on-site engagement, flexibly scheduled (e.g. across one university term):

   Day 1: Introductions, expectations, and shared ground rules

   Days 2–3: Core dialogue or deliberative-democracy sessions (format                              selected by client)

   Day 4: Debrief, reflection, and future planning.

​

Investment:

​

Flat fee (includes facilitation, materials, and preparation; travel additional).

 

Outcomes:

​

• Renewed communication across ideological divides

• Practical tools for sustainable dialogue or deliberation

• Data-informed evaluation and guidance for continued engagement.
