Sometimes our most difficult conversations are with the people we love. Staying true to one's values and political beliefs can be complicated, especially with people in one's own family. Do you wish you could speak your mind without feeling like you are risking the relationship?

This interactive workshop offers insights into why family differences over politics are uniquely challenging and invites you to consider common roles that family members play in political conversations. Join us to learn strategies and skills for handling family political differences in constructive ways. Though serious in topic, the workshop also aims to be fun!

Hosted by the Padnos/Sarosik Center for Civil Discourse and facilitated by the national bridge-building organization, Braver Angels, this workshop is open to students, staff, faculty, and community members. Light refreshments served.

Registration is free but REQUIRED due to limited capacity.

INT 100/201 Approved!
