Fearful? Furious? Get Curious

Deep canvassing is a powerful, research-proven way to lastingly change hearts and minds by building connection across lines of difference. Participants will learn how to have authentic conversations grounded in vulnerability, curiosity, and story sharing. Using case studies, video of real conversations, and role play, participants will learn what makes deep canvassing unique and how to use it.
