Disagree Better: Empathy Gym

Disagree Better: Empathy Gym is a tool that can be used to facilitate conversation between people across party lines. In this activity based on Jamil Zaki's concept of the empathy gym, participants will have a conversation with someone who has a different view than them. Instead of arguing, they will ask each other how they came to develop that opinion and simply listen to each other's point of view.

Creating brave spaces across party lines

I have come across several examples of people or groups of people doing innovative things to reach across party lines in order to engage in dialogue. I will document  them in this Collection as I find them, in case we would like to invite them to join us for a pre- or post- election meeting. Please let me know if you find examples that should be added.
