Speaking Across Conflict Workshop with Resetting the Table

Resetting the Table’s celebrated workshop offers communication skill-building for charged political conversations and a forum for dialogue across disagreement. Participants will exchange views and personal experiences, surface differences and commonalities, and practice communication skills for addressing differences directly and constructively. The workshop builds community capacity to explore disagreements while strengthening relationships, trust, learning, and collaboration.
