Skills for Disagreeing Better - St. Charles, Carthagena
2024-08-20 19:00 - 21:00
This Skills for Disagreeing Better is a free workshop with Braver Angels that helps participants understand the values and concerns of those who differ from them politically and teaches essential skills for communicating across differences and finding common ground.
In this polarized time, we lack basic understanding of why people on the other political side hold their beliefs. We don’t see them as they see themselves–their core values and central concerns–but instead as we choose to see them. We are tempted to regard our own side as principled and the other side as self-interested.
And when we try to communicate across this gap, we often lack the skills for listening carefully, looking for common ground, and sharing our perspectives in ways that connect rather than create more misunderstanding.
We can learn to disagree better in polarized times, which means accurately seeing where we differ and where we share common ground.
Goals of the workshop:

More understanding of the values and concerns of people who differ from you politically
Better skills for listening in a way the other person feels heard
Better skills for sharing viewpoints in a way the other person might hear even if they disagree

Depolarizing Ourselves Workshop
2024-06-25 19:00 - 21:00
Our communities are becoming divided, where it is difficult to engage in conversation with those who hold differing political views. Part of the Our Eucharistic Mission in a Polarized World programming, this workshop is for people of faith. Civil discourse begins in recognizing the image of God in our conversation partner. Since we are all children of God, our approach should involve mutual respect. Respect, not agreement, is an essential key for a healthy discussion. This workshop with the organization Braver Angels addresses how we may inadvertently be complicit in, or possibly even encourage, polarization.
