Mac Community Engagement Center

Dialogue

The CEC hosts multiple spaces, some ongoing, others in response to local or world events, to engage in meaningful and respectful dialogue. While ongoing groups tend to involve going into the larger Twin Cities community, short-term opportunities, such as Turning Towards Each Other, generally focus on dialogue within the Mac community.
