Skilled bridge-building in a time of polarization requires effort and moxy. Your microcredential signals your readiness to show both!\n\n### Requirements\n\nAny training/course endorsed by the Bridging Divides Badging & Microcredential Program for the COLLABORATION SKILL meets the minimum requirements outlined here.\nAssessment\nAll trainings/courses endorsed have been assessed by the Bridging Divides Badging & Microcredential Program team to meet these minimum requirements. Individual learner assessments may be required by the organization offering a specific training/course. Learners will be required to complete a pre/post survey that assesses change in attitudes related to different dimensions of social cohesion.\nMaintenance\nOur ability to build bridges is not innate. It takes time and dedication to cultivate these skills.  Learners are encouraged to take multiple trainings and earn multiple badges. \n\n### About this Program\n\nThe Bridging Divides Badging & Microcredential Program is a collaborative initiative supported by members of the [Listen First Coalition](https://www.listenfirstproject.org/listen-first-coalition).
