Inclusive Communities and UNO Join to Present UNO Dialogue Project

Inclusive Communities is proud to partner with the University of Nebraska Omaha to present the UNO Dialogue Project, formerly known as Sustained Dialogue. The goal of this project is to create a space for the UNO community to engage in productive and civil dialogue around uncomfortable or somewhat controversial topics. The program is a space where all points of view are heard and respected, and where UNO students, faculty and staff can develop the skills needed to become thought leaders in the community.

UNO Dialogue Project is a combination of Inclusive Communities’ well-respected Lozier Omaha Table Talk and UNO’s Sustained Dialogue programs and features a panel of speakers followed by small group discussions led by trained facilitators. The facilitators help guide safe, honest and open conversations around a highlighted theme or topic. The UNO Dialogue Project is exclusively reserved for the UNO community and sessions are free to attend, but advanced reservations are recommended.

“We are so excited to be merging the energies of two long-standing community conversation series to create this unique dialogue opportunity for UNO students, staff and faculty!” said Inclusive Communities Executive Director Maggie Wood.

Dr. Jessi Hitchins, Director of the UNO Gender and Sexuality Resource Center concurs: “UNO is excited to be partnering with Inclusive Communities to engage the campus in critical, complex discussions toward building a stronger civil discourse on campus and beyond.”
