Can we Listen? Follow up Discussion Planned

Many people at that meeting expressed a desire to continue the conversation and urged the organizers to plan additional meetings. In response, MCL will host “Can We Listen? Bridging the Political Divide” on Monday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. Mediator Peter A. Pagnucco, J.D., owner of Pagnucco Dispute Resolution, which specializes in mediation services and conflict resolution education, and director of the Mediation Clinic at Bennington College, will lead the program. Pagnucco will first present an approach to conflict and difference that helps enable comfort and confidence for listening when we disagree, then address skills that help us listen to understand and create learning conversations. We’ll follow up with an opportunity to practice some listening skills.
