Making Progress in Polarised Times
Seminar

By Invitation only
Social cohesion even in highly developed democracies seems endangered by polarised political and social forces and tendencies. How can political decision-makers, but also members of civil society and politically active citizens contribute to bridging the growing social and ideological divide and strengthening social cohesion; at a time when the pressure on societies is increasing dramatically due to poly-crises and a growing inequality?  
This seminar gives in practical examples and exercises an overview of the drivers of polarisation and teaches methods and skills to navigate polarised situations effectively. The seminar is informed by research from leading polarisation experts and designed with best-practice adult learning.
