About this Event
This event is a space for understanding diverse perspectives through fun interactive activities.
Why You Should Attend:
In our fast-paced world, we often miss out on understanding those around us. Civil Discourse offers a chance to slow down, engage meaningfully, and build empathy. Understanding diverse viewpoints is essential in every aspect of life, from professional settings to personal relationships.
Event Highlights:
- Engaging Activities: Participate in games that help you explore and understand different viewpoints—a crucial skill in our diverse community.
- Real Conversations: Enjoy short, meaningful chats with various participants. Each conversation focuses on a pre-selected topic where you'll share your thoughts, ask questions, and most importantly, listen without judgment.
- Understanding Over Winning: The goal isn't to win but to understand. If you can accurately relay someone’s perspective and they acknowledge it with "that's right," consider it a success.
- Empathy and Communication: Develop the ability to appreciate and articulate different perspectives. This skill benefits personal relationships, business interactions, and community engagements by helping you see the full picture, communicate effectively, and establish boundaries and opportunities.
- Complimentary Pancakes: Delicious brunch-style bites to munch on
Join us for a day dedicated to expanding your horizons, enhancing your communication skills, and connecting with others in a supportive environment.
Bring your curiosity and leave with a deeper understanding. We look forward to having you with us!
We are meeting in the outdoor garden of the Oakland Museum. Feel free to bring a friend!
