As we move from post-midterm elections into holiday conversations with families and friends, how do you think this moment will impact those holiday meals/conversations?
How confident are you talking with family members or friends who may believe misinformation, especially as we head into these gatherings?
Please join us this coming Thursday, Nov. 17 at 5 PM (ET), as the News Literacy Project, NICD and Senior Planet host a session called Productive Conversations without Confrontation to consider our information environment and share tips that can help us respectfully navigate these conversations.
In this webinar, we'll explore:
- How and why misinformation influences our emotions and exploits biases to draw people deeper into false beliefs.
- The polarized environment we find ourselves in and
- Strategies for having respectful conversations to help retain important relationships with loved ones and debunk falsehoods in a productive way.
Join presenters, DeMario Phipps-Smith, formerly with the Chicago Tribune, currently Senior Manager of Community Learning at the News Literacy Project and Dr. Carolyn Lukensmeyer, Executive Director Emerita of NICD for this session.
We hope you can join us on Thursday! Please register here.
Respectfully
