Inclusive Communities Table Talk Series

June 26 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm CST

Event Series Event Series (See All)

With Table Talks, Inclusive Communities offers everyone a space to build community through dialogue. The intent of Table Talks is to bring together community members and a panel of individuals who can offer their expertise or share their lived experiences to raise awareness and deepen understanding.

Omaha Table Talk (OTT) was one of the first local human relations programs to provide facilitated and informally structured gatherings for people of different ethnicities and cultures throughout the community, to engage in conversations about diversity and inclusion over dinner. OTT is the result of decades-long efforts by engaged community members to have real, open dialogues about how various forms of identity impact the community and interactions with each other. The OTT series programming highlights themes and topics based on trending issues the community is facing. Each Table Talk program opens with a panel of speakers and is then broken into small group discussions led by trained facilitators, who guide brave, honest, and open conversations.

This series is a National Endowment for the Humanities “United We Stand” event. All events are free and held in person at locations in Omaha, and are also accessible online. ASL and Spanish-language interpretation are provided. Registration is required. Click the link in the event title for more information, or to register.
