You, Your Neighbor, and the Election: Fostering Healthy Communities in an Election Season (ages 16+)

Participate in a professionally facilitated, free-speech, community discussion about our local and national elections with practical techniques and community-building.

• Understand Our Communities: Learn how we are connected and contribute to our collective well-being
• Engage in Effective Listening: Prioritize understanding through respectful conversation with diverse perspectives
• Be an Informed Citizen: Enhance skills for active community participation
• Foster Considerate Communities: Help ensure everyone feels respected and included

This event focuses on constructive conversation, not debate, aiming for and honoring diverse viewpoints. Expect to leave with stronger relationships, greater confidence in turning arguments into discussions and a reduced sense of polarization. A light meal and beverages will be provided.
