It suggests that diversity comes before inclusion. Wrong. Behavioral science confirms that a culture of inclusion must be fo stered first. That's because everybody from "people of color" to "straigh t white guys\," Republicans\, Democrats\, and Independents\, younger and older\, need to trust that they'll be treated with respect under the bann er of diversity. In the absence of trust\, differences plant seeds of res entment -- and\, ultimately\, conflict.  \n\n\nSo how do we build a cultu re of inclusion? Enter Irshad Manji\, internationally bestselling author and founder of Moral Courage College. Prof. Manji teaches people to commu nicate across lines of difference and even disagreement. Her inspiring ye t practical workshop\, "How to Revive Dialogue in a Time of Deep Division \," equips community leaders with the skills to foster belonging under an y circumstance. Best of all\, these skills are actionable immediately. \n \n\nDiversity without division is possible when we practice the Moral Cou rage Method. Join Prof. Manji for this transformative two-hour webinar as part of the 2021 Collaborative Diversity Conference. \n\n\n\n\n\nWednesd ay\, April 21\, 2021 - Facing Racism Pre-conference (limited to 45 partic ipants)\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, April 22\, 2021 - Plenary and breakout sess ions X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<html><head><title></title></head><body><p>We understand how difficult this past year has been for many people and tha t there is still some uncertainty\, so&nbsp\;through the generosity of ou r sponsors\, we are excited to offer this year's virtual Collaborative Di versity Conference <strong>free for everyone</strong>\, including the Fac ing Racism pre-conference on April 21.</p>\n<p>Today\, the phrase is ever ywhere: "Diversity and Inclusion."
