Craft a Conversation, Change the World
“What if a conversation begun today could ripple out and create new possibilities?” (Brown & Isacs, The World Café, p. 197)
Extension professionals at all levels participate in conversations in meetings, gatherings, and convenings almost every day. We can craft these opportunities in a way that our stakeholders participate, share freely, and pitch in to help move our communities forward.
We hope you’ll join extension professionals across the state for a virtual professional development opportunity and earn a micro credential badge while building your skill set.
Each of the three micro credentials begins October 9 and participants will have an opportunity to attend the Facilitation Drive-In in November.
