Ready-to-use resources for classrooms, communities, and workplaces
Dear Friends,
We are excited to announce the launch of our brand new website! The new website is designed with you in mind so you can access all of our resources easily and find what you need when you need it. Take a moment to stop by—there is something for everyone.
Free Resources to Spark Meaningful Discussions
The Interactivity Foundation equips you with the tools to be a conversation champion. Whether you teach, manage others, volunteer in your community, serve as a faith leader, or work with a team, these free resources are designed for you!
On the website, you’ll find:
Facilitation Resources: Our facilitation resources will help you support small group discussions in your community or on your campus. Check out our New Facilitation Plans!
Educational Resources: Designed by educators for educators, our lesson plans and curriculum can be used in any K12 or Higher Education classroom. Check out the Collaborative Discussion Toolkit!
Workplace Resources: Our collaborative leadership resources and nonpartisan exploratory discussion resources are designed to elevate workplace discussions and help teams work better together.
