Leadership Council San Mateo County: Depolarizing Within - A Braver Angels Workshop
The political divide seems to just get bigger and bigger. It's easy to blame the other side for not listening or understanding, but we need to look within too. Join Leadership Council San Mateo County for this free two-hour workshop designed to help you move towards more open and constructive dialogue. This workshop starts with you, fostering skills to lessen the effects of polarization when you encounter them in your political conversations.
Participants will learn:
How to be more aware of their own inner polarization
How to be critical without demonizing, dismissing, or stereotyping large swaths of the population
Strategies for intervening constructively in social conversations with like-minded peers when these conversations veer into contempt and ridicule for people who hold other political views
“Depolarizing Within” is led by experienced moderators from Braver Angels, a national nonprofit whose mission is to bring Americans together to bridge the partisan divide and strengthen our democratic republic.
