They agree on the importance of their friendship which includes a healthy dose of daily disagreement and a bourbon-fueled bond.\nAmericans used to engage in civil conversation with people of opposing viewpoints enjoying the banter and debate. Today\, many Americans believe they can't be friends with people whose politics are different. And with a global pandemic\, erupting race inequities\, and political upheaval\, there is no better time to build civility than NOW.\nThe Civility Project seeks to bring people of opposing viewpoints together for healthy disagreement\, personal interactions\, and constructive conversations. In this hour-long workshop\, participants will engage in enlightening discussions\, learn to listen to others\, and learn why listening is important.\nThe Civility Project places people before the moment of disagreement in discussing how we come to our beliefs and viewpoints. This judgment-free zone is a safe place to talk\, express yourself\, and be OK with the outcome.Delta Dental is a proud sponsor of The Civility Project.The Civility Project PlatformAgree to disagreeEngage in civil conversationBuild respect for each other's humanityRemain passionate about your viewsLearn to listen to other sidesSee the humanity in your opponentUse what you hear to challenge or affirm your own viewsThe Civility Project Goal: Build healthy disagreement and dialogue across AmericaNolan Finley\n Nolan Finley began his newspaper career as a copy boy at The Detroit News while a senior in college.
