DDD Tidewater – Student Registration

Congratulations!  Your child has been nominated to attend the 15th annual Tidewater Diversity Dialogue Day (DDD), scheduled for March 14, 2024.

Thanks to support from Dominion Energy, there is no cost for your student to attend! DDD is conducted by the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities and hosted at the ODU Webb Center.

Diversity Dialogue Day will bring together high school students from public and private schools throughout South Hampton Roads to discuss ways to make their schools more inclusive. Students will leave the program with tools they can use to create school and community environments free from the distractions of prejudice, stereotypes, and bigotry.

While at DDD, your child will be led through a series of activities designed to take participants through a process of awareness-to-action. Your child will engage in conversations with their peers about ways to recognize prejudice and respect others. Trained facilitators will guide the students through small group learning activities that explore personal experiences with discrimination and develop conflict resolution skills.

Transportation will be arranged by your student’s school.  Lunch is provided by the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities,  and every effort will be made to accommodate any dietary restrictions listed on this registration form.

Please complete the registration form to ensure your child’s registration by February 23, 2024.

If you have any questions, please contact VCIC’s Vice President of Programs Jessica Hawthorne by email at [email protected].

We look forward to the chance to work with your child on March 14!
