Depolarizing Within – IN PERSON

February 17 @ 10:30 am - 1:30 pm PST

Host Organization: NW Willamette Valley Braver Angels Alliance
Partner Org(s): Washington County Library System - Cedar Mill
State/Region: OR
Local Focus: Washington County, Oregon
A free workshop to help you become more aware of your “inner polarizer” and learn methods for disagreeing without contempt and ridicule

About this event

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 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 own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others.
