Bridging Divides-El Dorado and its partner Braver Angels, are pleased to offer a "bridging" event for El Dorado County residents.

Polarization 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.

This free 3 hour in-person workshop teaches participants:

How to be more aware of their own "inner polarizer"
How to be critical without demonizing, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population
How to constructively intervene in polarizing social conversations with like-minded people.

Who can come? Anyone interested in examining their inner polarizer and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others.

"Depolarizing Within" is ideal for organizations such as communities of civic associations, worship, social clubs, or educational institutions who want to reduce or avoid the divisiveness of political polarization.

Trained Braver Angels Moderators, a Conservative, and a Liberal will conduct the workshop. Refreshments will be served during the event and a box lunch will be available at the event's conclusion.
