Week 1 Activities
Facilitating Constructive Dialogue in a Challenging World
Our
Recommendation
We recommend the Week 1 activities because they intentionally build the interpersonal trust and sense of belonging that research identifies as prerequisites for meaningful classroom dialogue. Each activity is evidence-based, time-efficient, and adaptable across modalities, and offers students safe, structured opportunities to connect with one another and the instructor before engaging with complex ideas.
