**ABOUT CPL Workshops**

Get the training you need to effectively cross party lines.
Crossing Party Lines provides a series of FREE classes teaching the skills we use to talk across differences. We teach proven, science-based techniques to foster curiosity, invite listening, and connect across differences.

We designed these techniques based on recent discoveries in such fields as cognitive science, neurobiology, and evolutionary psychology. Because understanding the partisan brain is central to the work of Crossing Party Lines, our workshops cover both the skills and some of the basic science behind them.

Workshop:  Turkey and Politics

The recent election has highlighted our nation’s divides, with people processing the outcome in diverse and personal ways. Yet, the work of bridging these divides and fostering understanding remains crucial. True progress requires creating brave spaces where we can come together with a commitment to depolarization, embracing the politics of grace through open discourse, empathy, and civic engagement. In this spirit, we invite everyone to join us for our next discussion, "Our New President," on December 17th. Let’s build a foundation of mutual respect and shared vision for our future.

Our first post-election discussion will be an opportunity for participants to reflect on our potential new direction and to discuss our fears, hopes, wishes and concerns about our new President. Here are a few questions we will explore (others may come up during the discussion):

1. How do you feel about the outcome of the election?
2. What do you think the biggest challenge will be for our new president? And what do you think the biggest opportunity will be?
3. What are your concerns regarding the promises made during the campaign?
4. What is the single most important thing the President should focus on on Day 1?
5. How would you define a successful presidency?
6. If you could give one piece of advice to our new president, what would it be?

Join the Crossing Party Lines discussion and have a voice in our nation’s conversation! People of all views are welcomed, appreciated, and heard.
