From the Civility Project:
“It never occurred to us that we couldn’t be friends because we disagree,” says Nolan. “We’ve never avoided conversation, we never pulled punches, we sort of enjoyed the mix-up.”
 
The Civility Project seeks to bring people of opposing viewpoints together for healthy disagreement, personal interactions and constructive conversations. In our live and virtual programs, participants become familiar with the pillars of civility, have a chance to engage in enlightening discussion and learn why the listening is important.
 
“If we reach the point where we dehumanize the people we disagree with, anything is possible,” Stephen says. “We must step back and learn to talk to people as people, rather than political adversaries.” The Civility Project places people before the moment of disagreement in discussion of how we come to our beliefs and viewpoints. More details and registration information to come.
