Open-Call Trainings
Open-Call Civic Reflection Facilitation Trainings help participants gain hands-on experience in facilitating reflective discussions. The trainings are led by CCR staff who are nationally recognized experts in dialogue and civic discourse. CCR hosts several Open-Call Trainings in Chicago each year, all of which are open to the public.

- Sample set of diverse texts and images useful for exploring civic values and activities, including one free CCR publication
- New network of colleagues engaged in this practice

- An engaging, encouraging, and memorable experience
- Continuing professional development credits (13.5 CPDU's) available to participating Illinois teachers
