    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.
