Skills for Bridging our Divides Workshop
Saturday, May 21, 2022 - Online!
An online workshop for liberals and conservatives who want to communicate better with friends, family, and co-workers on the other side.
The ability to talk to people who disagree with us is vital to our democracy and our congregations, essential to critical thinking and peaceful relations, and crucial to a life connected to others. Yet we may live in the most divisive time since the 1850s. Conversations across the political divide have become treacherous, with many people avoiding them or regretting them afterwards. Some family members and friends stop talking to each other altogether. In this workshop you’ll learn skills for communicating effectively and respectfully with friends, classmates, co-workers, neighbors, and loved ones who strongly disagree with you.
You’ll practice ways to map differences accurately rather than based on stereotype, while searching for common ground, and affirming the importance of the relationship. This will be a lively, intense, and fun study that will leave you feeling more confident about engaging in difficult discussions productively without igniting open hostilities.
This online Braver Angels Workshop has two parts. Register now to reserve a space, and then the week before the event you will receive a link for a self-guided 40-minute eLearning course on the Braver Angels website. You will also receive the link for the interactive online skills practice Zoom webinar to be held on Saturday morning, May 21, 2022 from 10-12:00.
