POLITICAL VIOLENCE TODAY

October 9, 2024, 6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m.

Walla Walla High School Commons

You are cordially invited to be part of a free Walla Walla Valley Civility Project Café on

Join us in civil conversations about “The Acceptability of Political Violence Today” and practice personal and community civility. Short rounds of small group dialogues will be hosted in a café setting with relaxing music and complimentary finger food and beverages. The goal is for new learning and ideas to emerge from an evening of socializing and communicating!

The dialogues pose several questions of real consequence to all of us. One of those questions is, “Why does it matter or not to you whether verbal and physical violence are considered acceptable?” Our collective exploration of this and other questions promises to be both interesting and illuminating! The results of these dialogues will be captured and serve as an impetus for future planning efforts addressing the goal of fostering civility in the Walla Walla area. Your active and thoughtful participation in these conversations is very important to this community endeavor.

The organization and facilitation of the evening are based on the international successes of The World Café model to enhance civil conversations.
