Depolarizing Ourselves

Partner Org(s): WGVU Public Media, Muskegon Area District Library, Center for Civil Discourse at Grand Valley State University
State/Region: MI
Setting: In-person

* Local Focus: Muskegon Area, Michigan

A free workshop to help you become more aware of your “inner polarizer” and learn methods for disagreeing without contempt and ridicule

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, three-hour 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
  • 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.

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

See you there!
