Constructive Dialogue Curriculum Initiative
The Constructive Dialogue Curriculum Initiative helps schools of public service implement innovative curricula that prepare the next generation of public service leaders to bridge divides and work collaboratively across differences.
In collaboration with the Constructive Dialogue Institute (CDI), 14 schools of public service are developing new or adapting existing courses to teach skills for collaborating across difference, embedding CDI’s signature Perspectives program within their larger curricula. Participants include:

- The Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy, Cornell University
- The Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Indiana University Bloomington
- The John Lewis Public Administration Program, Tulane University
- The Clinton School of Public Service, University of Arkansas
- The Goldman School of Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley

A white paper that shares qualitative and quantitative data on the outcomes of the project and implications for public service education is expected to be released in the summer of 2025.
