GOFFSTOWN, NH – Raised voices, bitter feelings, and nowhere closer to compromise. It’s conversations like these that leave us thinking: how do you talk to those different from ourselves? How do we knit the social fabric back together? And how do we strengthen community bonds? During this 90-minute workshop, learn some tips on how to break down bipartisanism, as well as class, racial, and regional divides, from community member James McKim, managing partner of Organizational Ignition and president of the Manchester NAACP. Then put those tips into practice during a facilitated community conversation about having difficult conversations in your own life.
