Note: This event is to be attended in person.DescriptionJoin us for a free two-part intensive workshop that brings together Red (conservative or Republican-leaning) and Blue (liberal or Democratic-leaning) citizens for moderated activities and structured discussions that reduce stereotyped thinking, clarify disagreements, build relationships and find common ground through listening and learning rather than declaring and debating.ScheduleThis is an all-day in-person workshop. 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.Who can attend? Anyone 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.<ul><li>Participants 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 10 people on each side. </li><li>Observers watch and listen, but do not participate in the discussions.</li></ul>Workshop Goals<ul><li>To better understand the experiences and beliefs of those on the other side of the political divide;</li><li>To share your experiences and beliefs to help the “other side” understand your perspectives;</li><li>To seek out areas of common ground in addition to acknowledging and respecting differences;</li><li>To gain insights that might help to heal the increasing polarization in our community and the nation</li></ul>Questions?
