Sun Devil Civility
Arizona State University has collaborated with the National Conflict Resolution Center (NCRC) to develop the Art of Inclusive Communication Training experience for our students. This 3-hour training was created and grounded in the ASU Sun Devil Way. It “emphasizes the importance of cross-cultural interaction and the principles of our Sun Devil Way as valuing each member of the ASU community and demonstrating high standards of civility and decency toward all…[encouraging and underscoring] the benefits of greater communication between diverse groups, aimed at building understanding and respect….Through the ART of Inclusive Communication training, participants gain access to tools that facilitate inclusivity and cohesion on campus. At the end of the ART of Inclusive Communication training, students will be able to:
· Demonstrate practical skills, tools, and strategies for enhancing respectful behavior;
· Develop a clear sense of their own identity (who they are & what they value);
· Manage conflicts and cultural [differences] with those with different values;
· Identify the personal and community benefits of acting with respect and embracing diversity.
