Accurate Listening November 16, 1:30 - 4:30 SFU's Wosk Centre for Dialogue Dr. Eamonn Gill The approach aims to increase participants' abilities to clarify a speaker's intended message in the presence of distraction created by the mind's tendency to interpret and mold information to fit preexisting schemas.

Consensus Workshop Methodology November 15 1:30 - 4:30 pm SFU Harbour Centre John Miller How can diverse groups reach authentic "consensus" on large, complex issues in as little as an hour or two? The most powerful and integrated group process tool a skilled facilitator can use is the Consensus Workshop Method. It is designed to tap into various learning/communication styles. It can easily adapt to multiple languages. It allows a single facilitator to engage large groups. The Consensus Workshop Method actually works better with a more diverse group than homogeneous. Most importantly, it gradually builds a "safe space" within which ideas can be fully appreciated - no more "parking lot".
Deliberation: The What, Why, and How of Doing It Purposefully and Productively November 15 9:00 am - 4:30 pm SFU's Wosk Centre for Dialogue Sara Ross and Jan Inglis The workshop will use a climate-change issue as experiential content, with an interactive blend of short presentations, experiential exercises, and reflective debriefing of the exercises.

A short manual will be included and additional resources will be available.
