Depolarizing Ourselves: How to Approach Difficult Political Conversations

_This program is only open to JCC members and 60 & Better members._

Respect, not agreement, is an essential key to a healthy discussion. This
workshop explores how we may, without realizing it, encourage polarization. We
will examine how we regard and talk about large groups of ordinary people on
the other side of our politics as if they were enemies.

The goals of this workshop are to help you become more aware of your own
“inner polarizer” and to learn how to interact without demonizing, dismissing,
or stereotyping large swaths of the population.

This workshop is designed to help you lessen the effects of polarization when
you encounter subjects you disagree with in political conversations. Here,
“polarization” does not refer to healthy disagreements over issues or
philosophy.

_In Partnership with Braver Angels (a non-religious organization that develops
educational tools to build bridges between people divided over politics)._
