Communication Guidelines

In order to make the most of our time together, the following Communication Guidelines are designed to provide a space in which all can participate in an engaging and meaningful dialogue. If you attend, we ask that you are mindful of these guidelines throughout your participation in the dinner dialogue.
 
Dialogue, not Debate - We encourage you to come with an open mind to hear different perspectives, not to debate or argue who is right or wrong.
 
Agree to Disagree - We do not all need to agree; we embrace the sharing of our different viewpoints and experiences as an opportunity to learn from and better understand others.
 
Be Respectful - In how we speak, in how we listen, in how we withhold judgments. We avoid name calling/personal attacks and acknowledge that we are all in the process of learning.
 
Use “I” Statements - We share using “I” statements, because each of us can only speak from our own individual experience and perspective (e.g., “I think, I feel, I have experienced…”, and refrain from using “everybody thinks…,” “people are …,” “we all know …,” “students at UCLA are…”, etc.). No individual is asked to represent an entire culture or identity group
 
Confidentiality - It is highly encouraged that personal stories and experiences shared be kept confidential amongst dialogue attendees, while lessons learned about the current social justice topic and ways to mobilize towards action may leave the room.
 
Make Space/Take Space - We make space for every voice to be heard. We “make space” to allow for others to share if we notice we have already spoken a lot, and we “take space” to share our voice if we realize we have been quiet.
 
Be Present - We avoid side conversations and put our phones on “silent”.
