    <p>This fall, the Center for Social Justice Dialogue is hosting Interact, a series designed to help participants hone the skills to successfully engage in dialogue across difference. If you are a student within WILL+, ILE, any other Living-Learning Communities (LLC) or are just <strong>an undergraduate student interested in upscaling your dialogue</strong>, register now!</p>
    <h4><strong>WHAT IS INTERACT?</strong></h4>
    <p>Interact is a four-week program for undergraduate students focused on creating <strong>an introduction to the dialogue skills required to engage in difficult conversations</strong>, dialogue across difference, and intercultural dialogue.</p>
    <p>The goal of Interact at UMBC is to <strong>develop foundational dialogue skills</strong> such as critical self-awareness, listening and sharing authentically, asking questions toward creating deep connections, and apologizing and adjusting appropriately, while creating opportunities for participants to become more self-aware. As a result of participation in Interact, participants will have the skills to engage in dialogue within any type of situation and any topic of conversation.</p>
    <p>Participants meet weekly in small groups for 90-minute sessions that are co-facilitated by 2-3 facilitators. Each small group consists of 10-15 participants. During these sessions, participants learn and practice the necessary skills to become <strong>inclusive leaders </strong>and <strong>engaged community members</strong>.</p>
    <h6><strong>Participants who attend at least three of the four sessions will be entered into a raffle to win prizes such as a PORTABLE PROJECTOR and WEIGHTED BLANKET!</strong></h6>
    <p>To register, <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/civiclife/posts/152332/522bb/4f232426244e5132b2a1f2908204033c/email/link?link=https%3A%2F%2Fmy3.my.umbc.edu%2Fgroups%2Fcsjd%2Fposts%2F152282%2F30f78%2Fdf768f3d1c12fa162e0e27df351d3248%2Fweb%2Flink%3Flink%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fumbc.co1.qualtrics.com%252Fjfe%252Fform%252FSV_ePXqpjQOj86PEP4" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">click this link!</a></p>
