If you’d like to work with us to bring a Braver Angels debate to your campus, launch a virtual debate, and/or offer other civil discourse programs for your classroom — e.g. Red – Blue skills workshops, social media training, and one-to-one student conversations — connect with us here and we’ll reach out to set up a Zoom conversation to explore the possibilities.
