Our special guest this week, David Fairman, Senior Mediator at the Consensus Building Institute, will Present on:
Mediating In A Polarized Society
Get Mr. Fairman’s slide deck here.
Our democracy depends on a set of laws and institutions, and on a shared civic culture. Finding effective ways to manage and resolve conflict is essential both to governing and to citizenship. The rise in partisan animosity has sparked a movement to bridge differences among citizens and at the national level. This is not easy work, and sometimes it may be better to set aside "bridging" to fight the good fight for core values. David will offer his perspective on this work, and spark discussion about how mediators and other conflict resolvers can help strengthen our democracy.
Join us for this unique opportunity!
Offered by Will Work For Food and moderated by Jeff Kichaven (www.JeffKichaven.com ) and Jean Lawler (www.LawlerADR.com)
