Presented by the International Dialogue Initiative
This Workshop will provide opportunities for deeper psychological exploration of the role Large Group Identity plays in societal conflict and for application of the learning to members’ cases.
It explores how shared identity narratives, collective emotions, and group-level dynamics can shape polarization, escalation, and resistance to dialogue—especially in divided or rapidly changing social contexts.
