The dialogue session focused on enabling the students to learn the key skills of dialogue, based on critical thinking, active listening, global communication, questioning and reflection.
During the conference, the students shared challenging questions of their own and enquired more challenging aspects of identity and belonging such as ‘where do they experience most discrimination?’, ‘where do they experience most privilege and power?’
A couple of students summarized key learning points and commented on the dialogue skills of their own classes. They also commented on how they feel about the dialogue experience.
The dialogue session was coordinated by Instructor and Mentor, Roma Gupta and observer, Namrata Chib.
