UVA students, faculty, and staff are invited to join a respectful conversation touching all sides of a challenging issue. The ABCD workshop draws inspiration from traditional Braver Angels debates and workshops, BridgeUSA conversations, and visionary collaboration with Braver Angels’ co-founder Bill Doherty. Braver Campus Dialogues are aimed at exploring the nuances of an issue, fostering solution-oriented conversations where participants emerge feeling differing viewpoints are not obstacles, but essential components in addressing our most controversial topics. Guided by an experienced moderator, participants will navigate the intricate complexities of an issue, gaining a deeper understanding of the similar and different perspectives on the root causes and potential solutions for the most pressing social and political challenges.

Sponsored by UJC and Think Again, this collegiate workshop is free and brought to you by the College Debates and Discourse Alliance, a partnership of Braver Angels, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), and BridgeUSA, non-profit organizations that amplify the power of free expression and promote respectful exchange of ideas on America's college campuses.
