The Depolarizing Within workshop teaches participants to look at their own attitudes toward the political “other,” and to learn strategies for: a) engaging in politics without demonizing, and b) constructively intervening in conversations that stereotype or demonize the other side.
Goals:
● Become more aware of your own “inner polarizer”
● Learn how to criticize viewpoints without stereotyping, dismissing, ridiculing, and holding contempt for those who disagree with us
● Develop ways to speak up in polarizing conversations with peers about people on the other political side
What to Expect:
After an introductory discussion of polarization, participants will do a self-assessment exercise, learn to counteract their "inner polarizer," and practice communication skills to avoid polarizing conversations. This is a non-partisan program led by a representative of Braver Angels. It is open to all who are interested in bridging the partisan divide. Light refreshments will be served.
