Skills for Disagreeing Better about Politics, Braver Angels - Wednesday, January 10

December 18, 2023

Bring your critical eyes and ears to a pilot run of Braver Angels' first 90-minute workshop called "Skills for Disagreeing Better about Politics," led by Braver Angels Co-Founder Bill Doherty. Wednesday, January 10, 6 pm, Ramsey County Library in Shoreview


In our current polarized political environment, many people avoid or dread political conversations with friends or family members whose politics differ from their own. They worry, rightly so, that any attempts at political discussions will devolve into arguments and acrimony, and result in hurt feelings or anger.


This Braver Angels workshop teaches skills for having respectful conversations that clarify differences, search for common ground, and affirm the importance of the relationship. It also gives participants a safe environment to practice these skills. See Braver Angels' website at Braver Angels to learn how it's working to bridge our political divides.
