We train people to build civity. We all have power to create the culture we live in.
Training topics include:
➤ Being Intentional about Relationality in Conversation
➤ Bringing Authenticity to Story-Sharing
➤ Connecting Across Difference
Civity’s in-person and online trainings range from introductory workshops to in-depth coaching sessions that prepare participants to facilitate civity experiences for others. Trainings vary from a couple of hours to a half-day to a series of meetings with “homework” in-between. Civity supports workshop participants with post-workshop coaching (via phone, video conference, and/or email) as they practice civity in their own work.
Civity trainings build participants’ capacity and skills to reach out intentionally and authentically to people who are different from themselves.
Participants practice respect and empathy by becoming both storytellers and story-listeners. By sharing personal stories, they connect across difference so they can more clearly see and understand each other.

We also design custom trainings to meet specific organizational needs.
