It can be difficult to bridge the political divide. How do we talk with people who hold political views that are different from our own? Is there a path forward, out of conflict, toward understanding and common ground? This interactive workshop will prepare you to engage in dialogue by building skills for listening, managing emotions and perspective talking. People of all political persuasions can benefit from this program.
