How to Earn This Credential

BMAC reached out to the best and brightest in the bridging field to collect learning opportunities to help you build your listening muscles. Those modules are listed on the [BMAC Listen to Understand web page](https://www.listenfirstproject.org/bmac-credential-program-copy). Badge recipients complete one of those modules and fill out the relevant forms on that web page.

Listening is essential in any environment. The problem of not listening and not feeling heard exists in workplaces, schools, government, communities, and families around the nation and is contributing to increasing polarization and social isolation. Listening to understand is not just taking in words, it’s about connecting with the person behind those words. It requires ongoing learning and practice.

The Listen to Understand Skill is a component of the Bridging Divides microcredential which provides a pathway for you to acquire the basic skills you need to be a bridge builder and implement these skills in your home, workplace, and community spaces.

This microcredential demonstrates your commitment to bridging divides in an increasingly polarized world (country). Skilled bridge-builders in a time of polarization requires effort and moxy. Your microcredential signals your readiness to show both!
