Bridging the Gaps is a partnership between The Conflict Center (TCC) and the Institute on the Common Good (ICG) at Regis University, started in 2008, to provide opportunities for community engagement and dialogue. The goals of this ongoing partnership are to strengthen the relationship between the community and higher education, to create avenues for civil dialogue, to enhance nonviolent communication throughout the metro area and to increase awareness of alternative dispute resolution approaches among the general public.

The partnership between TCC and ICG developed from the similarities between each of the organizations’ missions and is designed to showcase leaders in the field of nonviolence and civil dialogue.  Bridging the Gaps provides an innovative forum for understanding differences, finding common ground and increasing communications in an effort to create more peaceful and productive workplaces and communities.
