In part 1\, participants get to know one another\, and a foundation of trust is established. This paves the way for a deeper dive into authentic\, respectful\, and thought-provoking questions and answers in part 2. NOTE: It is important to be available and committed for both parts. \nWho can attend?\nAnyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of\, and connection with\, people whose political beliefs differ from their own is welcome. There are two ways to join a Red/Blue Workshop: as a Participant or as an Observer. \n\nParticipants engage in small – and large – group discussions with individuals of both the same and different political persuasions. Participants identify as “red” or “blue” leaning. We strive for an equal balance of red and blue participants: 6 to 8 people on each side.\nObservers watch and listen\, but do not participate in the discussions.\n\nWorkshop Goals\n\nTo better understand the experiences and beliefs of those on the other side of the political divide;\nTo seek out areas of common ground in addition to acknowledging and respecting differences;\nTo gain insights that might help to heal the increasing polarization in our community and the nation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is a free event brought to you by Braver Angels as part of our mission to depolarize America.
