Braver Angels Workshop
Braver Angels Workshops
March 7
Join us in Loyola Hall on Thursday, March 7 from 7-9pm for an interactive workshop presented by Braver Angels (https://braverangels.org/) in collaboration with our Archdiocesan Catholic Social Action & Respect Life offices. The Depolarizing Within Workshop helps participants look within to see how they may be engaging or participating in polarizing ways. The workshop offers participants the tools to develop strategies for engaging in political discussion without demonizing the other side. It also shows how to constructively intervene in social conversations with likeminded peers.
This workshop is designed to foster skills to recognize and lessen the effects of polarization when encountered within political conversations with your like-minded circle. When referring to “polarization,” Braver Angels is not referring to healthy disagreements over issues or philosophy. We are looking at how we regard and talk in polarizing terms about large groups of ordinary people on the other side of the political aisle. This 2-hour interactive workshop is for anyone interested in examining their own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others.
