West Philadelphia Community Dialogue Project- Conflict Resolution, Racial Healing, Arts-Centered Community Dialogue
Supported by Partners for Campus Community Engagement, Drexel University
Project Partners:
Drexel Kline School of Law,
CORA Good Services Mediation,
and the United Negro College Fund
In partnership with Drexel Kline School of Law, CORA Good Services Mediation, and the United Negro College Fund, this project is designed to support community leaders through an interactive training panel in order to address issues related to race and racism in our community. The goal is to identify community leaders with the skills necessary to facilitate dialogue around sensitive topics to further understand and address issues of race in the community. The project's significance is the potential contribution to the growing body of literature on the use of participatory and civic action research to take an asset-based approach to empower communities through dialogue and conflict resolution.
