SUMMARY:Depolarizing Conversations: Turning Disagreements into Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Local Focus: Idaho\n \nThis free two-hour event aims to build skills that help prevent tense conversations from becoming arguments.  These are especially helpful during these polarized times -with friends\, family members\, work colleagues\, at school\, and with those you encounter while leading civic renewal activities.  These skills may also help holiday and family  gatherings stay calm. \nThis event is an adaptation of the Braver Angels’ workshop\, “Depolarizing Within\,” without the political party references. Participants learn and practice the highly effective  “LAPP Skills:”  Listen\, Acknowledge\, Pivot\, and Perspective\, using non-partisan examples. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nHow to disagree with others without demonizing\, dismissing\, or stereotyping large segments of our nation’s population or members of your community\nListen to understand\nSpeak in ways others will want to hear and be heard\nAffirm the importance of building relationships\nFeel safe to practice those skills\nTo take a “LAPP” = Listen\, Acknowledge\, Pivot\, and (give your) Perspective when faced with challenging conversations

SUMMARY:Depolarizing Within
DESCRIPTION:Braver Angels is partnering with the Washington State Catholic Conference to present “DePolarizing Within.”\n\nA free workshop to help you become more aware of your “inner polarizer” and learn methods for disagreeing without contempt and ridicule\nFaith-Sponsored Workshop Overview\nFor people of faith\, civil discourse begins in recognizing the image of God in our conversation partner. Since we are all children of God\, our approach should involve mutual respect. Respect\, not agreement\, is an essential key for a healthy discussion. This workshop addresses how we may inadvertently be complicit in\, or possibly even encourage\, polarization. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nPolarization can be driven by how we talk with like-minded people about those on the other side. Too often\, we stereotype\, dismiss\, or ridicule our fellow citizens who support the other political party\, its leaders\, and its policies. \nThis free 3 hour workshop teaches participants: \n\nHow to be more aware of their own “inner polarizer”\nHow to be critical without demonizing\, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population\nHow to constructively intervene in polarizing social conversations with like-minded people.\n\nWho can come? Anyone interested in examining their own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others. \n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is a free event brought to you by Braver Angels as part of our mission to depolarize America.
