Section outline

  • This unit explores the ethical responsibilities of facilitating citizen participation in divided, post-conflict communities, as well as the moderator's role in managing these processes.

The unit includes a mini-lecture, an interactive ethical dilemma exercise (via Mentimeter), and a reflection prompt and should take approximately 35 minutes to complete.
