Following LWVFL’s Civil Discourse Initiative, the Social Policy Committee is hosting a presentation and discussion aimed at improving our abilities in constructive dialogue. Democracy is sustained by people who are willing and able to engage in meaningful dialogue with others. Come and learn about communication practices that build relationships, encourage open dialogue, and support our democracy. This will not be a workshop. Some of the ideas presented in last year’s workshop will be reviewed briefly, so everyone can start on a similar page. Let’s build a more connected community!

Janet Hoffman, co-chair of Social Policy, will present and lead the discussion on civil discourse. Through participation with The Dialogue Company, Empowering Communication, and classes in conflict management, Janet became excited about increasing the awareness of tools for healthy dialogue and wants to share them.
