Education Opportunities at Jefferson
Conversations B.R.A.V.E Conversations
The conversation are the opportunity for everyone at the institution to share our opinions and concerns on topics that might be uncomfortable, but necessary to acknowledge, discuss and address. The Bold Relevant Authentic Valuable Educational (B.R.A.V.E.) conversations are an immersion experience designed to compel thoughtful and productive dialogue. They provide the ability to share one’s personal opinions, fears and concerns in a safe and respectful setting.
Workshop Series Let's Talk
“Let’s Talk” is a workshop series that opens the opportunity for conversation on any inclusion and diversity topic. Each workshop is designed to address the educational and awareness needs of the Jefferson Enterprise in regards to topics like, unconscious bias, systemic racism, race in America, LGBTQ competence, gender bias, health equity and much more. We will host these events throughout Jefferson and create safe zone environments to encourage open and honest dialogue on sometimes very sensitive topics. Everyone in the Jefferson community is welcomed to participate. We encourage folks to join us and share your experiences as we continue to cultivate an environment of inclusion and respect.
