Too often, we stereotype, dismiss, or ridicule our fellow citizens who support the other political party, its leaders, and its policies. This free 2.5 to 3 hour workshop is offered online over Zoom and teaches participants:<ul><li>How to be more aware of their own "inner polarizer"</li><li>How to be critical without demonizing, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population</li><li>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.</li></ul>Who can come? Anyone interested in examining their own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others. Questions?
