COMPASS

Learn to communicate science across conflicting viewpoints in this 3-hour virtual workshop.

Sales have ended for this workshop, but be sure to check out our other upcoming workshops on our website: https://www.compassscicomm.org/events/

<p>Many science topics are increasingly difficult to discuss due to rising polarization. Opinions on climate change, vaccine use, and more may be aligned with identities and values that are hard to work through, particularly when your own values appear to be different from, or even conflict with, those of your audience.</p><p>During this 3-hour virtual workshop, you’ll learn about the connection between partisanship and views on science, the types of audiences to focus your efforts on, and steps to making progress in a difficult conversation. You’ll have the opportunity to practice listening to your audience to identify values, and to develop messages with those values in mind.</p><p>The workshop will be a combination of facilitated group discussion, content presentation, and activities in breakout rooms. By registering for this workshop, you are committing to active participation in the workshop, for the benefit of both yourself and the group. Please also plan to use a webcam whenever possible during discussion and breakout room portions of the workshop. Due to the progression of materials presented and the paired exercises, we cannot admit participants who are more than 15 minutes late.
