CATE ISSUES IN AGRICULTURE

Issues 360

Communicate with Confidence on Critical Issues

Most of us look at any topic through our own lens of experiences, background, and spheres of influence.  But wouldn’t we be better off by learning to see things from a different vantage point?  Wouldn’t that help us grow, respond, and maybe even change our perspective? This program will help you understand critical and controversial topics and create positive, productive discussion about them using:

You’ll gain confidence and compassion to discuss critical issues in ways that simultaneously influence and respect others – essential skills for a trusted future face of agriculture. We partner with the Center for Food Integrity to provide participants with their "Engage" training. During the weekend training, students will have the chance to network with alumni and communications experts, practice various techniques through role play activities, develop knowledge about current controversial issues in agriculture, and enhance their communication skills.

Thank you to our sponsors, Indiana Corn Marketing Council and Indiana Soybean Alliance for helping to put on the Issues 360 Institute.

“I participated in this program because I wanted to learn about communicating controversial topics better. I realized that sometimes it’s not about being right, it’s about listening to others even if you disagree. I enjoyed the program and the growth it instilled in me to strive to be open to new conversations and learn more from others.”
