Skills for Disagreeing Better (WA - Western Washington Alliance)

Braver Angels

Seeing where we differ and where we share common ground

Registration for this event is now closed. We hope you will be able to participate in a future Braver Angels event.

Note: This is a field test of a new online workshop and will last 1.5-2 hours.In this polarized time, we often lack basic understanding of why people on the other political side hold their beliefs. We don’t see them as they see themselves–their core values and central concerns–but instead as we choose to see them. We are tempted to regard our own side as principled and the other side as self-interested.When we try to communicate across this gap, we often lack the skills for listening carefully, looking for common ground, and sharing our perspectives in ways that connect rather than create more misunderstanding.We can learn to disagree better in polarized times, which means accurately seeing where we differ and where we share common ground.Goals<ul><li>More understanding of the values and concerns of people who differ from you politically</li><li>Better skills for listening in a way so that the other person feels heard</li><li>Better skills for sharing viewpoints in a way the other person might hear -- even if they disagree</li></ul>Questions?
