BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On December 4, 2021, the Equity and Human Relations Advisory Committee held a Civil Discourse virtual workshop to help facilitate meaningful and community-building conversations about controversial and potentially divisive matters of importance to the Culver City community. In the past, strong opinions about controversial issues have sometimes evolved into anger towards other members of the community. The Civil Discourse Workshop was designed for all community leaders and members. The Workshop trained participants about Civil Discourse, and participants also created recommended civil discourse guidelines for our community.
