Civil Discourse - An Antidote for these Polarizing Times

What is Civil Discourse?

  • Engaging in conversation intended to enhance understanding
  • Demonstrating respect for the dignity of others, even those with whom we have sharpe disagreement

  • Having the humility to admit we may have something to learn.

Discover How to

  • Set a consructive tone
  • Listen so others feel heard
  • Speak in ways others can hear
  • ​Explore common values
