INTL Hosts Common Ground Speaker Series: Civic Engagement

Oct. 29th - 7:00pm | INTL Cohn Campus

INTL is hosting the Common Grounds Speaker Series for this interactive workshop, which will teach us how to better navigate highly-charged topics.
​​​​​​​​​​​​
We are not always equipped for difficult conversations. We may be able to share our views easily with those who agree with us, but how do we express our opinion while leaving room for someone else’s viewpoint? How do we ensure our discussions are rooted in reliable information and that we treat each other with dignity and respect while discussing potentially contentious topics? Engaging in civil discourse means bringing your mind, heart, and conscience to reflective conversations on topics that matter, in ways that allow you to extend your understanding in dialogue with others. It does not mean prioritizing politeness or comfort over getting to the heart of the matter.
