The Depolarizing Within workshop teaches participants to look at their own attitudes towards the political “other,” and develop strategies for engaging in politics without demonizing and for constructively intervening in conversations with like-minded peers when those conversations 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:

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 representatives of Braver Angels.  It is open to all who are interested in bridging the partisan divide.  Light refreshments will be served.
