As part of both Global Philly 2015 and Peace Day Philly* events across the Philadelphia area, the Dialogue Institute (DI) hosted a free introductory workshop, Dialogue Across Difference: Skills for Peacemaking and Global Citizenship, on September 17, 2015.
In this interactive workshop, DI Founder/President Leonard Swidler and Executive Director Rebecca Mays introduced the nearly 20 participants to Professor Swidler's Dialogue Principles as an essential tool for both peacemaking and global citizenship in any context. Participants ranged from Temple undergraduate students to members of an international peace delegation traveling with The International Sufi School.
