Opening Doors: A personal and professional journey

 

 

The three-day workshop retreat

Opening Door imageOpening Doors is a highly-valued, time-tested workshop model for creating a climate for constructive change on diversity for individuals and organizations.

For more than 15-years over 1600 participants have experienced the Opening Doors three-day retreat. It utilizes a holistic approach, focusing on both participants' cognitive and affective growth.

Through Opening Doors participants will:

  • increase their understanding of diversity by identifying and learning more about their own identity groups;
  • develop a common language for talking about power, privilege and difference;
  • examine how institutional and personal  practices maintain inequalities among people and prevent us all from reaching our full potential;
  • identify practical strategies for implementing and facilitating change collectively; and
  • build alliances and networks.

 

Opening Doors is a powerful resource and impetus for diversity initiatives within Cornell Cooperative Extension at the individual, team and organizational levels. Participants in Opening Doors routinely identify it as a profound growth experience… that certainly was the case for me.
