Question 1

What will I be able to do after fully completing this workshop?

Accepted Answer

If you complete all sessions of the series, you will be trained to co-facilitate a dialogue group for your workplace, community, or campus using the Sustained Dialogue Institute materials provided by the Sustained Dialogue Institute.

Question 2

What if I can't join this round? When's the next round?

Accepted Answer

We hold this several times per year, usually each season. "Follow" us on our organizer page on Eventbrite to be notified as soon as the next is announced. Some rounds are ten 90 minute sessions over months, while others are 4 longer weekly sessions.

Question 3

I'm a consultant looking for material to give to others. What should I know?

Accepted Answer

This isn't a train-the-trainer to provide our training nor activities, though we have an invite-only program. Our training, handouts, content, and work is copyrighted, and our content use requires written permission. We want you to create new dialogue spaces, not similar training or activities.

Question 4

I'm hoping for a recording.

Accepted Answer

We don't record the sessions for participant & facilitator privacy. People who miss specific content often visit the next round of skill series to make up the content, or schedule with facilitators to catch up when possible. We encourage you to hold the dates and try to attend.

Question 5

I think my previous training might be expired. Should I take it again?

Accepted Answer

Training does expire, and more quickly you don't co-mod a full SD process, or weren't part of a fuller program with ongoing coaching & manuals from us. We highly recommend a refresher and several take this training often. Write to info@sustaineddialogue.org. Sometimes, we can give a discount.

Question 6

I'm registering a  larger group from my school, workplace, or institution? What's easiest?

Accepted Answer

We recommend sending members of your group this link and having them register directly since we have accommodations to learn, or asking them to join the waitlist linked above. But please do email us if you want a central invoice to avoid Eventbrite fees and a custom group code.

Question 7

Is this for students?

Accepted Answer

We think students and young folks are the people best equipped to learn these skills, and the work we do was built from student contexts. There may be people of all ages in this experience, but we encourage students in particular to sign up.

Question 8

I sometimes struggle in groups or on Zoom. What other learning is possible?

Accepted Answer

SD is an intergroup dialogue process, so struggling in groups is a challenge. If you struggle to have your needs met in group settings often, we may not recommend this work. Others prefer not to learn on Zoom, so most of our work is in-person. Ask about bringing this to your community in-person.
