Civil Conversations series: Co-sponsored by Braver Angels Arkansas & Garland County Library
After a successful year of civil conversations in Little Rock, we are moving the series to Hot Springs. Braver Angels Arkansas (BAAR) and the Garland County Library present Civil Conversations, a monthly series of conversations about politics and related topics. We welcome citizens who seek a respectful, safe environment in which to listen with curiosity to others and to speak effectively about their own views. Moderators from BAAR, trained by Braver Angels, will provide skills training and coaching while encouraging all to maintain a civil and respectful approach to our conversations. Anyone willing to commit to respectfully listening to others, and to sharing your own views with respect, is welcome. We will follow a specific format, and moderators will help ensure all participants follow guidelines for civil discussion. No registration is needed to attend. Email cathi@fiberpipe.net for details or questions.
Series schedule: We meet 2-4 pm on the 1st Sunday of each month at the Garland County library at 1427 Malvern Ave. Come join us and bring a friend with different political views to learn effective communication skills and to practice respectful dialogue.
Goals of this series:
• Develop and practice communication skills
• Elevate respect for individual differences; promote understanding and tolerance
• Identify common points of view or interest
The topic for the March 2nd civil conversation will be “The Economy and Its Rippling Impacts.” The conversation series is offered monthly on the first Sunday from 2 – 4 p.m. at the Garland County Library, 1427 Malvern Ave., Hot Springs. Please contact Cathi, 307-763-6015 or cathi@fiberpipe.net for additional information. All are welcome!
