Develop and exercise the skills you need to be an active participant in everyday democracy in this fun, interactive 30-minute session.
Democracy Fitness expands traditional ideas of what democracy is by exploring the skills that help people participate in civic life, build connection, and work better together.
In this session, we’ll exercise our Empathy Muscle:
In a democracy, we have different perspectives. If we want to understand others and be understood, we must put ourselves in each other's shoes.
Registration Recommended. Drop-ins welcome. Adults only.
