Pedro Senhorinha Silva has had a varied career, from serving in the U.S. Air Force as a Chinese Linguist to ministry with the United Church of Christ. With a deep passion for uniting people, he’s been active in the bridging movement, volunteering with Living Room Conversations, and joining YOUnify in 2022. He also hosts two podcasts, serves on the Motus Theater board, and recently relaunched Higher Up Consulting. In 2023, Pedro was honored with the YWCA Boulder County’s Community Impact Award for his contributions to community engagement and advocacy.

The Center for Humanities & the Arts (CHA) mission is to promote arts and humanities by being a dynamic hub on the CU Boulder campus and by creating connections within the Boulder community.
Our purpose is to hold dialogues on topics considered difficult, provocative, or controversial, among constituents that may have strong conflicting views.
Our objective is NOT to necessarily agree, fix anything, prove anyone right or wrong, or alter anyone’s position. 

We are committed to fostering productive dialogues in the hopes that minds and hearts might expand. We ask that you 

  1. Keep an open mind 
  2. Be respectful of others 
  3. Listen with the intent to understand 
  4. Speak your own truth

We expect to experience discomfort when talking about hard things. Remain engaged and recognize that the discomfort can lead to problem-solving and authentic understanding.
