Civic reflection is a conversation model that uses a shared source (such as a poem, image or film excerpt) to help groups of people think and talk more deeply about their shared world and differing values and commitments. This is a long-standing and well-researched approach developed through the Center for Civic Reflection, which began at Valparaiso University and continues at Salisbury University.

As the global center for civic reflection activities, the Center provides outreach, training, and direct facilitation activities to the immediate community, state, region, and beyond. This includes a freely-available database of civic reflection objects, trainings, and support.
