All too often, our ideological conflicts become personal and we stereotype, dismiss, or ridicule our fellow citizens who support other political parties, leaders, and policies. In this time of polarization, many of us avoid conversations with others, even in our own communities, whose perspectives and opinions differ from our own. We worry that any attempts at discussions will devolve into arguments and acrimony, and result in anger and further divisiveness.
In this workshop, you’ll learn skills for having respectful conversations when differences arise including how to:
- Become aware of your own “inner polarizer”
- Disagree with others without demonizing, dismissing, or stereotyping them
- Speak in ways others will want to hear
- Affirm the importance of building relationships
- Feel safe practicing your new skills
