<p>Have you heard a friend or family member make an anti-immigrant or anti-Muslim statement recently? In recent months our society has been filled with sentiments, even by people we know and love, that degrade the dignity and contributions of immigrants and Muslims in U.S. society.</p>
<p>ISN has partnered with Faith in Public Life to offer a series of online training sessions for students at Catholic colleges and universities that equip participants to have courageous conversations with people in their personal networks, particularly intergenerational conversations that engage older family members, mentors, teachers, etc. The training will help you consider the psychology of fear that leads people to express hate or distrust of others because of their differences. It will also offer skills and insights on how to engage in meaningful and productive conversations about these issues with those in your personal network.</p>
<p>Training sessions will take place via video conferencing software that is easy to set-up on a computer or Apple/Android device. Sessions will last approximately 60 minutes. Participants will receive a digital copy of a 1-page summary highlighting the key points after the presentation. We will also reach out to participants a few weeks after their training to learn how they were able to utilize the skills in day-to-day conversations.</p>
<p>The sessions are intended for students — but college faculty and staff are welcome as well.</p>
<p>Are you willing to be courageous?</p>
