Decreasing Polarization through Deep Democracy at the ACR Conference

November 11 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am EST

Join us at the Association for Conflict Resolution annual conference!

Polarization isn’t just for politics. Across the US and the world, people are managing differences by dividing into us versus them camps. Some of this is good-natured (think sports teams), but much of it devolves into name-calling, oversimplification of issues, and demonization of the other side.

Deep Democracy, a method of conflict resolution developed in South Africa to support the transition away from apartheid, was designed to help transform destructive polarization. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn the Deep Democracy approach to interrupting polarization both through presentation and an experiential activity in which we use Deep Democracy techniques to address a polarity present within the group or conference.
