Excellence in Communication (Video 1 of 4)

Dialogue, Not Debate (Video 2 of 4)

Topics tie in with GSUSA Citizen badges and Journeys, and include: ethical decision making, civil discourse, and dialogue versus debate. Facilitator: Ariel Sykes, Assistant Director of the Ethics Institute at Kent Place School in Summit, NJ.
