“Talking about the issues that impact your community and our state can be hard. It doesn’t have to be. Join Dr. Yackee as she discusses the La Follette School of Public Affairs’ Main Street Agenda project. In this innovative approach to building and practicing the skill of civil dialogue, the La Follette School will hold in-person community conversations around the state that will give Wisconsin residents opportunities to find common ground on issues that matter to them and their communities. Ultimately, the goal of the events will be to help participants learn strategies to have respectful conversations with people of differing views.
