The seminar’s main objective is to encourage empathy between scientists and members of faith communities, as empathy is a critical component of collaborative relationships and productive conversations. Seminar activities are designed, in part, using techniques from applied improvisational theater to connect and engage participants. These experiential learning games have been used by the series organizers to build empathy and communicate more effectively across differences in discipline and expertise.
