Developing Respectful Discourse?Between People who Disagree Politically
FEL!X enables participants to walk in the shoes of figures from diverse generations and cultures that include historic (rulers, artists, writers, and unsung heroes) – and sometimes mythological and literary characters.
Get Ready to Stretch Your Imagination!
Over the course of four sessions, you will use drama to take on the identity of diverse historical characters in a supportive environment designed to nurture your empathetic and listening skills and enable you to engage with people from vastly different perspectives in a respectful manner. Whether your intention is to better understand another's perspective or to try to change their mind, FEL!X's unique methodology will help you discover how to connect. You will learn not just to hear people's opinions, but to listen for the values and experiences that underlie their viewpoints. Sometimes after better understanding another point of view, your own perspective may change. You may even see commonalities between yourself and others you formerly disregarded.
And we got some very cool costumes, props, prizes and improvisational games to help create a fun engaging environment.
