The training introduced the concept of recognizing a person’s own cultural identity, how it informs their perspectives on life, and how to begin engaging in respectful conversation on challenging topics, ranging from politics to diversity and inclusion.

Title IX topics were also introduced, which prohibits discrimination on sex, including sexual misconduct, consent, and harassment, in any education program that is federally funded.

Students discussed civility, or small actions that lead to respect for others, and the need to establish norms, or set of guidelines on how to react when a topic is or could be offensive, in an education setting. These skillfully applied behaviors lead to positive working relationships and environments.
