In a current political climate that fosters hate, and with an administration devoid of empathy, the rise of community and police tensions is not only palpable but has been deadly to both parties in recent years. With the scrutiny of modern policing and the rise of activist groups that champion racial equality, To Protect, Serve, and Understand is a one-of-a-kind workshop that is changing the way we look at one another in a real way. Starting with a dinner and discussion, followed by group theater games and actor-training techniques, the workshop teaches participants a unique approach to problem-solving and offers real-life communication skills in a creative nonjudgmental atmosphere.
