This track offers a “train the trainer” approach to facilitating interfaith trainings and workshops on campus. Although many in higher education agree that engaging religious diversity is a priority, they often feel as though they lack the skills and knowledge to do this important work. Through this “train the trainer” workshop, participants will cultivate the ability to develop and lead interfaith professional development for faculty, staff, and/or paraprofessionals within their campus community. Using IFYC’s BRIDGE curriculum as a learning tool, participants will experience interfaith workshop modules as participants, reflect on strengths and limitations as facilitators, practice workshop facilitation, develop strategies for addressing challenging situations that can arise during interfaith workshops, and plan concrete facilitation opportunities back on campus.
