Upcoming event: Stepping Into the Divide: Using Coalition Building Skills to Deepen Relationships in the Face of Antisemitism, Racism, Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Racism The dramatic rise in antisemitism and anti-Arab sentiments since October 7 2023 was perhaps most acutely felt on college campuses across the country, where tensions boiled over last spring. For decades, the NCBI - National Coalition Building Institute (Schweiz) has been a respected national leader, providing resources to campus leaders and communities in ways to respond proactively to charged and emotional issues. Fostering dialogue across divides: As the culmination of their time-tested methods of responding to divisions on campus, NCBI designed this new program to tackle the root causes of the divisions on campus that lead to antisemitism, racism, Islamophobia, and anti-Arab racism. NCBI’s approach is to address these unique but interconnected forms of bigotry by approaching each not in an isolated way but through training in coalition building, hearing personal stories that can change hearts, and ongoing support from NCBI’s trained experts to develop campus-wide programs. How it’s creating a better world: In this moment of intense national division that has neighbors turning against neighbors in communities across the country and college campuses being rocked by intense conflict, NCBI is stepping into the gap on campuses, supporting students, administrations, and affiliated communities to bridge divides and enhance belonging. Learn more about NCBI’s campus program: “Stepping Into the Divide: Using Coalition Building Skills to Deepen Relationships in the Face of Antisemitism, Racism, Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Racism” in an upcoming learning webinar hosted by the Nathan Cummings Foundation and Henry Luce Foundation on Wednesday Dec 4th at 4pm.
