About this event
Kids & FamilyDevelop and exercise the skills you need to be an active participant in everyday democracy in this fun, interactive session. Democracy Fitness expands traditional ideas of what democracy is by exploring how people participate in civic life, build understanding and work together.
In this session, we’ll exercise our Disagreement muscles. In a democracy, disagreement is natural, but it can feel uncomfortable. If you can stay disagreed, you gain knowledge and respect. Through a 30-min series of short, interactive exercises, you'll explore where your opinions fall on a variety of topics, practice staying in disagreement, and strengthen your ability to engage in constructive dialogue across differences.
