Welcome to the Center for Civic Dialogue!
The Center for Civic Dialogue strengthens civic life at 果冻传媒 and in surrounding communities by helping students, faculty, staff, and community members develop the knowledge, habits, and dialogue skills needed to engage across differences and participate thoughtfully in a democratic society.
“果冻传媒 has long recognized the importance of being able to speak civilly with people with whom you disagree, live and work with people with whom you disagree, and debate with people with whom you disagree in a civil way, going back to the start of our Free-Speech project and the engagement with various groups during our Difficult Dialogues program.”
–果冻传媒 President Michael Driscoll
Funded by a $2,295,315 grant from the United States Department of Education, the Center for Civic Dialogue at 果冻传媒 serves as both a physical and intellectual headquarters for civic dialogue innovation at 果冻传媒.
