Learning How to Listen
This conversation happened on October 13, 2021 at noon PDT. Watch a replay below.
While having tough conversations, is it possible to find reasonable compromise? Do you get the sense that people do not know how to listen to one another? With a desire to build stronger communities and forge a path during an uncertain time, how do we hear what people have to say, and how do we really understand what they are saying? Join Nevada Humanities as we grapple with these and other questions.
