Social Trust Learning Burst Videos and Online Tools

No news here... we live in a society that is deeply divided politically and socially. Feeding division and promoting feelings of powerlessness are exactly the recipe for sustaining chaos and confusion, allowing mistrust and fear to fester and grow. When this happens neighbors fear neighbors, people can’t give their best at work, public spaces are unsafe for many and the quality of all of our lives is affected. What’s needed to move forward is social trust.

Social trust is not just an emotion but an action. We’ve captured what social trust looks like in action with learning burst videos—short videos used to spark conversations that lead to action for sustainable change and move us toward a healthy democracy that works for everyone. Each video has a companion toolkit with exercises to help facilitate dialogue, sustain learning and move the conversation to action.

There’s more! We’re creating online Micro Learning and Lighting Habits sessions for creating a Me to We Mindset and developing Me To We Skill Sets for managing the things that can happen when diverse people come together to share public spaces, or work together toward a goal. With these tools, we can better spread our frameworks for managing differences, build our Getting to We Community, and collectively turn us and them into WE.

Hey Friends!

You came through for us in 2023 and got us to the finish line for the documentary Trust in Black and White It premiered at the Cleveland International Film Festival in April with three showings and great reviews! It will be ready for rental distribution in 2024. We can’t thank you enough!

We’ve got more stories to tell, and are eager to create more learning burst videos and online tools to include in our DEIB Edutainment™ library for our website. These videos and online sessions are free and open to the public to use for lunch and learns sessions in workplaces, dialogue sessions with civic organizations, fellowship gatherings among faith-based communities, viewing in book clubs, with social groups across generational age groups, or just with family and friends as conversation starters.

Our Why

We know that the degree of social trust in any society is a major factor in how well - or how poorly - our society works. Social trust is essential to an informed public, and a key determinant of our social and economic development.

Ultimately, we want a world where minds and hearts are open, and human interaction is about making ourselves and each other better friends, family, neighbors, and citizens—better humans.

Who We Are

Now in its fourth year, Getting to We is dedicated to helping people understand our shared, core identity as humans and relate to each other without fear. We create learning communities, research-backed resources, digital tools, visual media, DEIB Edutainment™, and competency-building learning experiences that create a better society for everyone. We believe that intentional multicultural, multiracial living provides us with the experiences necessary to turn us and them into WE.
