This workshop (which, to my knowledge, is not participatory - you just get to view it) is a free event brought to you by Braver Angels as part of their mission to depolarize America. (For more on the organization, check out this nervous-system-relaxing video.)
Braver Angels National Co-Founder, Bill Doherty will be presenting this event in person, and it will be streamed live for those who attend via Zoom. Please note that Zoom attendees will move into breakout groups for the activities, and Bill will be interacting with the in-person attendees only.
Polarization is fueled by how we talk about those on the other side of an issue. Too often, we ridicule, dismiss, or stereotype our fellow citizens. When Braver Angels addresses “polarization,” we are not referring to healthy disagreements over issues or philosophy. We are addressing how we regard and talk about large groups of people — people who happen to be on the other side of the political aisle.
Goals:
In this 1.5-hour session, participants will learn:
1) How to be more aware of their own “inner polarizer”
2) How to be critical without demonizing, dismissing, or stereotyping large swaths of the population
Who Can Attend?
Anyone interested in examining their own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others.
