The Depolarizing Ourselves Introductory Workshop is designed to help you lessen the effects of polarization when you encounter them in your political conversations. Note that by “polarization,” we are not referring to healthy disagreements over issues or philosophy. We are talking about how we regard and talk about large groups of ordinary people on the other side of our own politics as if they were enemies. 

​

Workshop Goals: 

To teach participants how to - 

• be more aware of their own “inner polarizer,” and 

• interact without demonizing, dismissing, or stereotyping large swaths of the population.
