LET’S TALK ABOUT IT: FINDING COMMON THREADS ​THROUGH CONVERSATION

The United States is becoming more and more polarized, socially and politically. As in many other places, people tend to stay in their bubbles, only interacting with like-minded people. What if you left your bubble and met someone new?

The Conflict Resolution Center and Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History are cohosting an afternoon of dialogue from 2-6 p.m. July 23 to do exactly that. The overarching idea of this event is that it is difficult to see someone as “other” when you have had an opportunity to connect with them as a human being, therefore through simple conversations, deep divisions can begin to be healed.
