Civil discourse requires mutual respect. Respect, not agreement, is an essential key for a healthy discussion. This workshop addresses how we may inadvertently be complicit in, or possibly even encourage, polarization. The session is led by a volunteer Braver Angels Facilitator.  

In our current political climate, much of our conflict stems not from healthy disagreement over policies, issues, or philosophy. Instead, it’s created by the often emotional, rancor-escalating, and highly polarizing conversations that we typically have with others.  Braver Angels has created the Depolarizing Ourselves Workshop to help you reframe how you view the other side in the face of disagreements around politics.  Successfully ‘taming’ our inner polarizer starts with recognizing our tendencies around harmful generalizations about the other side.

Braver Angels is a non-religious organization that develops educational tools to build bridges between people divided over politics.
